Pandemic or Plague – Where Is God in Coronavirus?
JIM SAMRA
What is God doing in/with/through this global crisis? In this episode we are joined by CPT fellow Jim Samra, Senior Pastor of Calvary Church in Grand Rapids, MI. We explore difficult and complex questions related to how Christians should think and speak of the activity of God in moments of crisis and suffering. How do we prepare God’s people for suffering and uncertainty? Once the a season of suffering has arrived, what is the pastor’s role in encouraging, supporting, and shepherding the sufferer?
Jim Samra is the Senior Pastor at Calvary Church in Grand Rapids, MI. He holds a DPhil in New Testament from the University of Oxford. Jim is a member of the St. Anselm Fellowship of the Center for Pastor Theologians.
