How belief helps us endure natural disasters

First Baptist Church senior pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress joins 'Fox & Friends' to share Bible verses for hope after devastating floods in Texas leave more than 80 dead. 

Record-breaking floods inundated Texas, submerging homes, displacing families, killing at least 100 people and prompting widespread evacuations. 

Natural disasters often shake our deepest beliefs. It’s only human to cry out and ask why would a loving God allow such unrelenting suffering. Especially when it comes, not through human cruelty and free will, but from the forces of creation itself.

But paradoxically, it’s that same faith that many rely on in the aftermath. Far from being a crutch, faith often becomes a critical lifeline, helping people cope, recover and rebuild.

Parents, students, school faculty and community members come together at Sinclair Elementary for a vigil in honor of the missing student Greta Toranzo, who attended Camp Mystic and was among the missing after catastrophic flooding, on Saturday, July 5, 2025, in Houston.
