Have you ever considered that God's questions might reveal more about you than your answers reveal about Him? When the Creator of the universe asks "Where are you?" or "Why do you doubt?" He's inviting us into something far deeper than a theological exercise.

Charessa Koontz joins the podcast to discuss her new book "The 17 Questions of God and the Impact on Your Life Today," exploring how divine questions transform our spiritual journey. The number 17 holds special significance for her family, connecting biblical narratives with personal experiences of loss and restoration.

• God's first question "Where are you?" invites honest confession rather than hiding in shame
• The question "Where have you come from and where are you going?" challenges us to examine our past and future with intentionality
• Theology of beauty connects to theology of place—creating spaces that orient us toward God
• Grief has become increasingly isolated in our culture, with fewer community rituals to process loss together
• Doubt isn't sinful but can lead to deeper faith when it creates curiosity that drives us toward truth
• Jesus asking Peter "Do you love me?" demonstrates how restoration follows failure through love
• The book features illustrations by Koontz's 12-year-old daughter Charity, making it truly a family project
