As the student questions series continues, I'm talking through ideas for conversation inspired from a text we use in Core Theology class at Concordia University-Irvine–Called to Believe by Steven Mueller. In this episode we begin working through chapter 7 of the book, which discusses sin.

Some discussion prompts related to this passage can include:

• Consider this thought: It was wreckless and unforgiveable of God to create humanity that could sin. What do we think about that? How do we respond as Christians?
• Is God failing, with the decline of Christianity?

We work through how we can have a helpful discussion about this "problem of evil" question that many people raise.
