Why does God seem silent when we need Him most? For centuries, philosophers, skeptics, and believers alike have wrestled with the problem of divine hiddenness—the haunting question: If God is real and loving, why doesn't He make Himself more obvious?

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most emotionally and intellectually challenging issues in theology. Is God's silence a sign of His absence—or could it actually be a catalyst for deeper faith? We explore key arguments from atheists like J.L. Schellenberg, a few biblical examples of divine hidenness, and how certain scholars have approached this issue.

Whether you're doubting, searching, or just curious, this conversation invites you to rethink what it means to seek—and to be sought by—God.
