Summary
Why do bad things happen? It's a question as old as faith itself. In this series, we explore free will, the reality of sin and suffering, and the mystery of God's will. While we may not always find clear answers, we discover this truth: suffering is not pointless, and even in the hardest moments, God is present, working, and drawing us toward something eternal.
