Why does God allow bad things to happen?

Send us a message. We’d love to hear from you!Why do bad things happen, and what are we supposed to say when “I don’t know” feels like the only honest answer?This week, Steve and Chris unpack Silas’ powerful message on suffering, Job, grief, unanswered prayer, and the temptation to offer easy answers when someone is hurting. They talk about whether everything really happens for a reason, the difference between joy and happiness, why questioning God is not the same as putting Him on trial, and what it means to simply sit with someone in their pain.They also discuss a little girl who wanted to kick Jesus in the face, why Job’s friends may be more like us than we want to admit, and whether Steve should preach an entire year through Leviticus. Chris has already voted no.This is an honest conversation about suffering, faith, and a Savior who does not watch our pain from a distance.
