In this week's Everyday Conversations Podcast, as we settle in for another week in quarantine, our team looks at how atheists are challenging Christians to explain why God would allow this crisis. Some, like NT Wright, argue that Christianity is not meant to give a rational explanation, offering instead, a God who grieves with us. But others, like Andrew Perriman, write that the Christian response to suffering addresses both our rational and emotional needs.
