Is God Good - How Could a Good God Allow Suffering

In this message from the series Is God Good?, Rusty George addresses the challenging question many people face: if God is good and great, why do bad things happen? He acknowledges that many of us grow up believing in certain versions of God that don’t hold up when we face real-life struggles, such as suffering or unanswered prayers. Rusty explores the false images of God, like the "Bodyguard God," the "On-Demand God," and the "Guilt God," and encourages us to let go of these misconceptions. Instead, he invites us to seek the true God revealed in Jesus, who walks with us through our doubts and struggles, even when life doesn’t go as we expect. Through humor and heartfelt reflection, Rusty reminds us that while life’s challenges can make us question God’s goodness, faith is about trusting God’s presence in the midst of it all.
