God the Fixer and the Problem of Evil - Audio

The world is broken. You don't need to be convinced of that. What you might need is an answer to the question that follows: if God is good, why did he let it get this way? It's one of the oldest objections to faith, and it deserves more than a bumper sticker response. In this episode, Pastor Chris works through the biblical answer — not a philosophical workaround, but the actual story Scripture tells about what went wrong and what God has been doing about it since day one. Starting in Genesis 3, we see how human rebellion didn't just break a rule — it broke the world. But the story doesn't end there. It never does. From Noah to Abraham to David to Isaiah to Daniel, there's a thread running through all of it. A plan taking shape. A king being promised. A servant being prepared. And a son of man who will one day ride the clouds and take his seat next to the Father. God the Father is not indifferent to the mess. He's been working to fix it from the beginning. This episode traces that thread and makes the case that the problem of evil has an answer — and the answer has a name. Why Does God Allow Evil?
