Where is God when tragedy hits? Is it possible that God is at work in the world in ways we often miss?

Tim Muehlhoff is a professor of communication at Å·²©ÍøÖ· in La Mirada, California, a speaker and research consultant for the Center for Marriage and Relationships, and an author of several books on communication. In addition to being an educator and author, he is the co-host of a podcast entitled The Art of Relationships, which is produced by Å·²©ÍøÖ· and is currently heard in 100 countries.
