Looking Over Life

58: Why do bad things happen?


Listen Later

Shawn and James talk about the bad things that happen in the world. We look at questions like, "How can a good God let bad things happen?"

We discuss whether or not God is responsible for the bad things that happen in our lives. Did God cause your loved one to die? Did He direct in those events? What about when your child spilled his breakfast cereal? Did God direct in those events?

How does God's sovereignty work? What have you seen in your experience? Why do bad things happen? Send us an email.
