Why Does God Allow Evil? | Hard Questions from Habakkuk


Listen Later

📖 In this thought-provoking episode of "The Minors" devotional series, we tackle one of life's biggest questions: Why does God allow evil and suffering? Through the lens of Habakkuk's ancient complaints, we explore this timeless struggle that has challenged philosophers, theologians, and everyday believers for centuries.

We examine the classic "Problem of Evil" posed by Epicurus: If God is all-powerful and all-good, why doesn't He stop evil? But rather than getting lost in philosophical arguments, we focus on practical wisdom for those wrestling with pain and suffering in their own lives.

Key insights from this episode:

  • Why philosophical answers often fall short for those who are hurting
  • The importance of presence over explanations in times of suffering
  • How different worldviews, including Western secularism, grapple with evil
  • A challenging perspective on the question "Why do bad things happen to good people?"
  • The surprising way some people find meaning and growth through hardship

Whether you're personally struggling with suffering or supporting someone who is, this message offers biblical perspective on life's toughest questions.
