In this first episode of The Impasse Series, we're tackling nine of the hardest questions people bring to the edge of faith: Why does God feel absent? Why do evil people prosper? Why would a loving God allow Hell? Why doesn't He just make His existence obvious?

Every answer runs through the same lens. God is sovereign, and He is our Father. And once you understand that, His logic starts to look less like indifference and more like parenting. A Father who sees the whole timeline doesn't owe you an explanation for every decision. But He is good. And that changes everything.

This is Honeyed Candor. We speak the truth in love, even when the truth is hard, and even when love costs something.

Life has a way of putting us into situations we weren't ready for. Perhaps a loss that doesn't make sense or a leader who falls. Maybe it's a prayer that went unanswered. Moments that make us wonder — is God even real? Is any of this true?

Honeyed Candor is a theology podcast that meets you in those moments. Every week, Christy answers the hard questions — the ones born out of real pain and real doubt — honestly, from scripture, without flinching.

This isn't a show for people who have it all figured out. It's for anyone who has ever had their faith rattled and needed someone bold enough to tell them the truth.

One hard question. One honest answer, spoken in love. Every week.
