In this sermon, Tad addresses the tension between the reality of God's goodness and the real suffering in this world. He presents that God's goal for us is to become more like Christ, suffering is the way we are formed to be more like him, and bitterness will hinder us from the growth. He says that the suffering we encounter can largely be attributed to the misuse of freewill, rather than God. As he discusses the topic, Tad visits the passages of Romans 8, Genesis 50, and Hebrews 12.
