Why Does God Allow Evil and Suffering?
In this episode of Let’s Talk: Faith in a Modern World, we wrestle with one of the hardest questions believers and skeptics alike ask: If God is good and all-powerful, why does He allow evil, suffering, and tragedy?

We explore the deep questions behind human choice, the Fall, and why love requires freedom. Why would a good God create a world where He knew pain would exist? Couldn’t He have created a perfect, pain-free world? And if He’s holy, why not just wipe us out and start over?

Through real biblical examples—Joseph, Habakkuk, Nebuchadnezzar, the man born blind (John 9:1-3)—we discuss how God brings meaning out of suffering and how even evil choices can be used for good (Genesis 50:20). Is God punishing you—or is He inviting you into something deeper?

🟡 Don’t miss this heartfelt, honest conversation about pain, purpose, and hope.
