If God Wants Us to Believe, Why Does He Hide? John Lennox Responds

If God loves us and wants us to know Him, why do some people sincerely search for God and still find themselves unable to believe? In this conversation, Alex O’Connor raises the problem of divine hiddenness with John Lennox—and then pushes the question even further by connecting it to apparently arbitrary suffering. Rather than offering an easy answer, Lennox admits the difficulty of the problem and asks a different question: is there enough evidence to trust God even when we don't understand why suffering happens? In this episode of The Christian Take, we examine that exchange and the distinctly Christian response Lennox eventually offers. The original conversation is from Alex O’Connor's interview with John Lennox. Watch the full conversation at the link below. Original video: https://youtu.be/mbs8JGA_Y-M?si=U8L-6mAvmfnroDIi
