Episode 487: Free Will

Because we’re given free will and free choice, sometimes we choose poorly. The problem of suffering goes back to Genesis where Adam and Eve were given free will. They chose to disobey God, and thus brought sin into the world, which is why we suffer today. Gene says that sometimes we cannot answer the question of why we suffer. But we don’t have to do through suffering alone - God is always with us.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.
