Suffering, evil, and the heart of God

Part 5 | How can a good God allow all this pain and suffering?

What do you do when life falls apart?

When prayers go unanswered.

When tragedy strikes.

When anxiety, loss, betrayal, or suffering seem to overwhelm the good in the world.

One of the deepest questions we wrestle with is this: If God is good, why is there so much pain and suffering?

In the final week of Still Wondering, guest speaker Steve Clifford joins us for an honest conversation about suffering, evil, and the heart of God. Together, we’ll wrestle with the questions so many of us carry but rarely say out loud: Where is God when life hurts? Why doesn’t He always intervene? What does Jesus reveal about suffering? And can faith still make sense in a world filled with pain?
