#388: You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good,



Genesis 37-50, Romans 12:9,  Isaiah 5:20m Proverbs 2:14-15, Proverbs 8:13, Matthew 5:44, Ephesians 6:10-12, 2 Corinthians 4:7–9,  John 16:33


In today’s special episode, we talk about evil in our world but keep details age-appropriate and I point them to what God’s Word says about it.

My children have been asking really good questions about this due to events and I thought we should address it. Using the story of Joseph, the cross of Jesus, and even a recent story, we discover four big truths:

  1. God can use what was meant for evil for good.
  2. We must hate what is evil and cling to what is good.
  3. We are called to love our enemies and fight with prayer, truth, and love.
  4. We have real hope because of Jesus.

This episode may feel a little different than our usual storytelling, but I believe it will help children think biblically when they have questions about hard things.

My hope is that today’s episode gives you a strong starting place and sparks meaningful conversations with your children.

There is a free parent letter that goes along with this episode. It’s designed to encourage you and offer a few practical tips as well. This episode does not include the regular Patreon activity pages, since it was created in response to recent events and outside of my usual schedule. I simply didn’t have time to prepare them—but I still wanted to make sure you had this special episode and the accompanying letter. Get the letter here.
