Episode Details

In part 2 of our series addressing DECONSTRUCTION and the reasons people are leaving the church and Christian faith, we dive into perhaps the biggest and most difficult question posed of God.

This question was first asked by Epicurus, a 3rd century (B.C.) philosopher, and it goes something like this: If God is good, then why does evil exist? If God is all-powerful, then why doesn't He do something about it?

We tackle this question head-on by exploring what the Bible has to say about (1) the source of evil, suffering and pain, (2) God's posture and attitude toward these things, and (3) what we are supposed to do with and about the worst experiences in our lives and the world around us.

While there is no easy answer to the great WHY? question, we do see that God has intervened in sending Christ to defeat evil and death, and we can have hope as we look forward to the day in which He has promised to make all things right.
