## Resource

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussion of kidnapping, severe trauma, abuse, and horrific treatment that may be disturbing or triggering for some viewers. Please use discretion when listening. How can a loving God allow unimaginable evil? It’s a question that can shake our faith to its core. When we hear stories of innocent people suffering at the hands of others, it can make us question God’s goodness, His love, and even whether He is truly present in the darkest moments of this world. Debbi Ali’s story takes us directly into that tension. After being kidnapped and subjected to horrific evil, Debbi came face-to-face with the kinds of experiences that seem impossible to reconcile with a loving God. But what happened during her near-death experience gave her a radically different perspective on evil, justice, and what God is doing behind the scenes. Her story does not minimize suffering or offer easy answers. Instead, it sheds light on a God who sees every injustice, who is not indifferent to evil, and who is actively working to overcome darkness with love, redemption, and ultimately justice. In this powerful episode of Imagine Heaven, John Burke sits down with Debbi Ali to explore what she experienced, what she learned about God’s heart toward those who suffer, and why even the darkest evil does not get the final word. If you have ever wondered, “Where is God when terrible things happen?” or “How can God be good when there is so much evil in the world?” Debbi’s story offers a profound perspective worth hearing.
