<p>In “I Am an Alien,” Pastor J.D. deals with a question that people have been asking for thousands of years—why is there so much suffering in the world? “I Am an Alien” walks through the book of 1 Peter, a book written to Christians who were not only aware of the problem of evil, but were living in the midst of pain, suffering, and constant trouble. Our prayer is that those who feel like outsiders in this world would see how the gospel transforms even our most painful experiences.</p>
