Memories of Our Mentor and Friend, Ravi Zacharias

With the world in the midst of a global pandemic that has already claimed more than 150,000 lives, the question of "natural" evil is at the forefront of many people's minds. Why does God allow bad things to happen to innocent people? If God truly exists, why is there evil, and why is there suffering? Isn't He capable of stopping it? In this timely rebroadcast of an episode from November 2017, Vince and Jo discuss the problem of suffering due to "natural" causes, and how we might make sense of this suffering in light of a God who Himself entered into suffering for our sake.
You can read Vince's recent article responding to this issue here.
Questions Asked in This Episode: 1) "People often explain moral evil to be the result of our free will. But if that is the case, then how do you explain natural evil (ex. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and things like that)?"
2) "If God exists, why would He allow things like cancer in children to occur?"

Why Would God Allow Diseases and Other Natural Evils?

Environmentalism and environmental justice are at the forefront of many of our cultural conversations today. Christians are commanded by God to steward the Earth, but faith communities are frequently charged with environmental neglect. Is there a way to reconcile environmental concern with belief in God? If God is going to take care of it all in the end, why should we worry about it? This week, Jo and Vince discuss the biblical logic behind environmental justice as a form of love for God and love for neighbor.
Question Asked in this Episode: "Is there a way to bridge caring for the Earth with a belief in God?"
Check out Nathan Rittenhouse at our recent #TrendingQuestions event on environmental justice.
