Life in a broken world is full of suffering, grief, and unanswered questions. But what if God has more to teach us in the middle of the pain than in the absence of it?

In this episode of the Freed to Lead Podcast, I sit down with author and banker Daryl Potter, who has walked through decades of personal loss while raising a daughter with severe health challenges and supporting his family through unimaginable trials. His story is raw, real, and deeply rooted in Scripture. Together, we explore how the books of Job and Ecclesiastes reveal God’s heart, even when life feels unfair, and how hope can be found in places we least expect it.

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like “Why does God allow suffering?” or “How do I keep faith when life hurts?” — this conversation will remind you that God is still good, still sovereign, and still with you.
