“What is God teaching me?” – Brad Jersak
"What is God teaching me in this?"
I hear this question frequently, most often through the trials and tragedies of life. When something goes wrong and life grinds our nose in the dust, we might wonder what lesson we're to learn.
It's almost as if once you learn the lesson, you can move forward. Honestly, while the question is an expression of genuine humility, I think the question itself smuggles in extra painful assumptions that we would do well to discard. IF we think that God imparts wisdom through any circumstance, no problem. But if we view our painful circumstances and afflictions as a lesson sent by God, then God becomes the first cause of ...
The Cruciform Gospel – Brad Jersak – Interview with Corey Jolin and Josh Hawkins
The Cruciform Gospel – Brad Jersak.Interview with Corey Jolin and Josh Hawkins (Fremont Community Church).
Brad: In preparation for a weekend seminar (back in 2019) with Fremont Community Church in Indiana, the pastors ran the following questions by me:
St. Thomas style cross - India
Question: Discuss the word cruciform. What does the word simply mean? What are you wanting to portray when using it in your book?

More Christlike God Q & A: “Doesn’t Isaiah 59:2 clearly state that our sins separate us from God?” – Brad Jersak
QUESTION:
Dear Brad,I have had the privilege of hearing your teaching at my local church. I also love your book, Stricken by God? In it you dispel the idea that God cannot look on sin and I totally agree with your reasoning. But although you mention Habakkuk 1:13, you do not comment on Isaiah 59:2. It seems to be clearly stating that the people's sin had separated them from God and hidden his face from them. I would be most interested in your interpretation of this verse, if you have the time to answer.Thank you. May God bless you,
Sarah
RESPONSE:
What a great question, Sarah!
Yes, Isaiah 59 is a key text in the ...
Q&R with Brad: How does God interact with the universe? Control vs. Love
Question
I am about halfway into A More Christlike God (I pre-ordered A More Christlike Word a few months ago as well!). Your work is refreshing to my soul. In fact, I conduct research among secular, Gen Z college students, and some of your insights address precisely their struggles with the Christian faith, most notably the wrath of God and Christ pitted against the Father. Anyway, as I have been reading A More Christlike God, I’m struggling with what seems to be a contradiction of sorts, and I would greatly value your insight.
In Chapter 7 (pp. 129-32 in my copy) you discuss “secondary causes.” Here, you discuss ...
