Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People - Part 1

Why does a good and loving God allow suffering? Is it part of the believer’s walk with Him—or a sign that something is wrong? These are deep questions that many of us wrestle with, especially in seasons of hardship. In this episode, we take an honest look at what the Bible teaches about trials, tribulations, and suffering. We’ll explore whether suffering is tied to sin, and why Scripture tells us to “count it all joy” when we face various trials, as James 1 reminds us. Is God distant in our pain, or is He doing something deeper through it? Let’s open the Word together and discover how suffering fits into the life of faith—and how it can shape us, refine us, and even draw us closer to God. Clarence Rule and Donovan Sheppard, elders in the life of JoshGen and Pam Marais share their experiences of trials, grief and trauma and how God has used it for His good in their lives.
