Truth for your Twenties

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Listen Later

My husband and I recently hosted a zoom call called "Bring all your faith questions" and not surprisingly the question of, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" was the theme of the conversation.

There are books upon books unpacking this subject but here are my bullet points

  • It's not supposed to be this way. We were created to live forever in a garden utopia walking with God, but sin entered the world and so did death, disease, hurricanes, and suffering.
  • It's a flawed question because bad things in my life I cried about ended up being very good and who is to decide who is a good or bad person?
  • This is not our home, nature is beautiful even more than it is functional reminding us there is another garden of perfection on the other side of eternity.

    • SO MUCH MORE to unpack. This is why we are talking about it this week on the Truth for your Twenties podcast.
