Why do bad things happen to good people?

Suffering is part of the human experience. We’ve all faced moments of pain, loss and brokenness. Maybe you are facing one now. This can often be the largest obstacle for trusting in a good and loving God. If such a God exists, why is there so much suffering in the world? And how do we deal with it when it comes into our lives? If these are the kind of questions you are grappling with, join us as we wrestle with life’s hardest questions from a Christian perspective.
