Episode 39: Hannah Begg

Recorded at a live event, Hannah Begg shares with women in North Brisbane, Queensland about her genuine struggles with God over the deep darkness in this world. Interviewed by Nicky Wilton, Hannah explains how she grappled with heavy questions around the brokenness of our world and how she came to the conclusion that the gospel profoundly answered her deepest questions and struggles, allowing her to find comfort in God's anger.

 

EPISODE NOTES:

Hannah Begg is a young woman in her 20s. Until recently she worked as an occupational therapist in Brisbane. She now works and lives in the UK. While she grew up in a loving Christian home, she found herself grappling with the brokenness of the world. Her journey to having a real, honest relationship with God included many deep and confronting questions and struggles with what she believed to be true.

In her quest to reconcile the God she worshipped with the darkness of this world, Hannah found uni to be a healthy part of the journey, by mixing with people who challenged her thinking. It was during this time that the gospel ultimately profoundly answered her deepest questions and struggles with trusting God.
