Episode 124: The Wheat & The Weeds | Why Does God Allow Evil to Exist?

Why does God allow evil to exist? It's one of the oldest and most difficult questions people have ever asked. If God is all-powerful and all-loving, why doesn't He simply remove evil from the world? In this episode of Wild Faith, we walk through Jesus' Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds in Matthew 13 to discover how Scripture answers that question. We explore where evil came from, why God allows it to remain for a time, why the wicked sometimes seem to prosper, and what our response should be as followers of Christ. Along the way, we'll look at Satan's counterfeit truths, God's incredible patience, the danger of spending our lives pointing out everyone else's weeds, and why Jesus calls us to first examine our own hearts. Most importantly, we'll be reminded that God hasn't forgotten His field. The harvest is coming, justice will be made complete, and our calling isn't to fix the world—it's to remain faithful while trusting the Farmer. Whether you're wrestling with suffering, questioning God's timing, or simply wanting a deeper understanding of one of Jesus' most powerful parables, this conversation will encourage you to trust God's plan even when you can't yet see the whole picture.
