## Resource

This episode explores the profound questions surrounding the problem of evil, God's goodness, and faith. Scott, Kristin and Greg share personal stories, theological insights, and the importance of engaging with difficult questions to deepen faith. This is the second episode in the series on creation, evil and suffering, and it takes an unexpectedly personal turn. The hosts get into theological questions about God's goodness and why the challenge of evil is so difficult, and yet why we continue to feel compelled to ask what belief in God's goodness can look like even when there is evidence and suffering in the world that would say otherwise. "Can I believe God is good despite the evidence?" 👀 Key topics The problem of evil and suffering Theological responses to evil and suffering Personal stories of faith and loss The importance of questioning in faith The role of Jesus and Christian principles in understanding evil Learn more about Theology Lab: www.theologylab.org Music Copyright code: US9BWVXXM3PYATAZ Highrock Media License Number - uB6aGE
