Why Does God Allow Suffering?
Why does a loving, all-powerful God allow pain, tragedy, and suffering? If you've ever wrestled with this question, you're not alone. The problem of evil is one of the biggest challenges to faith—and a major reason why many people struggle with belief in God. In this episode of Wrestling with God: Big Questions. Honest Conversations., we take an honest, deep dive into this age-old dilemma.
We’ll explore perspectives from philosophy, theology, and reason, breaking down ideas like:
✔️ The free will defense – Does God allow suffering to preserve human freedom?
✔️ The soul-making theodicy – Can suffering build character, resilience, and wisdom?
✔️ The natural law argument – Could suffering be an unavoidable consequence of a structured universe?
✔️ The limitations of human understanding – Do we lack the full picture of God's plan?
This episode is designed for skeptics, seekers, and believers who want to wrestle with life’s toughest questions—without easy answers or clichés. Whether you're deconstructing faith, exploring Christianity, or searching for truth, this is a space for open, honest conversation.
