Episode 486: Where Suffering Comes From

If God wants only good for us, why do we suffer? Sometimes it’s a result of our own sin such as overeating or drinking too much. Other times it’s the result of others’ sin. It can also be caused by the attacks of Satan. Most suffering comes because we live in a fallen world. Today Gene encourages us with this quote from Philip Yancey: “Don’t confuse life with God.”Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
