Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? - Kingdom Culture Podcast
In this episode of the Kingdom Culture Podcast, we tackle one of the most frequently asked questions in Christianity: If God is good, why do bad things happen to good people? We explore how sin entered the world through Adam and Eve's disobedience and how it impacts humanity. We also discuss the concept of goodness through the lens of Jesus' teachings, using examples such as Job's suffering and Jesus' own experiences with pain to illustrate that righteousness does not exempt us from suffering. Finally, we offer guidance on how to handle suffering by clinging to scripture, inviting God into the pain, and finding community support. Tune in for a deeper understanding and practical advice on navigating faith in challenging times.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
