🎙️ When Life Isn’t Fair: A Christian Response to Injustice | The Red Ledger PodcastWhat should Christians do when life feels unfair? How do we respond when justice is denied, and pain is personal?In this powerful episode of The Red Ledger, host Denalee Bell is joined by Lissa Frasure to explore how believers can navigate injustice, disappointment, and unfair treatment with grace, humility, and a kingdom mindset.👉 From corrupt systems to personal heartbreak, injustice is all around us. But as followers of Jesus, we're called to respond differently—through faith, forgiveness, and trust in God’s sovereignty.💬 Lissa shares a vulnerable, real-life story about her son being unfairly benched during high school baseball playoffs, and how his Christlike response inspired everyone around him. Together, they dive into:🔹 What the Bible says about justice and injustice🔹 How to trust God when justice seems delayed🔹 Why worldly fairness ≠ God’s righteousness🔹 Lessons from Proverbs, Matthew 18, and Jesus on the cross🔹 How grace and mercy can transform injustice into witnessWhether you’re facing personal injustice, dealing with unfair treatment at work or school, or struggling with the brokenness of the world, this episode is for youScripture referenced:Proverbs 22:8(NKJV): "He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow, And the rod of his anger will fail."Context: Lissa references this verse to find solace in the face of worldly injustice, noting that those who sow injustice will face consequences. It underscores the belief that God’s justice will prevail, even if not immediately visible, providing comfort.Proverbs 31:8-9 (NKJV): "Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy."Context: Cited to emphasize the Christian call to speak up for the oppressed, such as the poor and needy. The hosts balance this with the need for prayer and discernment to ensure actions align with God’s will, particularly when addressing injustices like the one Lissa experienced with her son.Matthew 18:15 (NKJV): "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother."Context: Lisa mentions following the “Matthew 18:15” process when addressing the perceived injustice with her son’s baseball coach. She and her husband approached the coach directly.Deuteronomy 32:35 (NKJV): "Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them."Context: Referenced indirectly when the hosts discuss “God says vengeance is mine,” emphasizing that vengeance belongs to God alone, not humans. This ties into their argument that Christians should forgo personal retribution and trust God’s justice, as exemplified by Lissa’s reflection on her emotional response.Luke 23:34 (NKJV): "Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.’ And they divided His garments and cast lots."Context: Alluded to when discussing Jesus’ grace on the cross, particularly His prayer for forgiveness for those who crucified Him. The hosts compare this to Cooper’s grace toward his teammates, suggesting that such forgiveness can change hearts, as seen with the soldier who believed after witnessing Jesus’ compassion.John 11 (Implied Reference to Lazarus) (NKJV, John 11:35 for brevity): "Jesus wept."Context: The hosts reference Jesus’ compassion in the story of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus’ death. 1 Samuel (NKJV, 1 Samuel 10:9): "So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day."🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications for more episodes on faith, identity, healing, and spiritual growth.  https://bit.ly/3XKEQZ8🎁✨🎁✨🎁✨🎁✨🎁✨🎁✨Looking for meaningful gifts that inspire and uplift? 🎁✨ Visit Red Ledger Gifts for faith-filled treasures and heartfelt keepsakes perfect for every occasion. 🌟 Shop now and give a gift with purpose and meaning! 💝 https://www.RedLedgerGifts.comFull Audio PodcastSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5MAqixfO8Io2hB9di8px0TApple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/soapybox-podcast/id1698052375Connect with UsWebsite: https://redledger.com
