Why does God allow suffering and death if He is good? It’s easy to forget the “why” of this question, and today at the podcast, I’ll be addressing it from the Bible. Suffering and death is the direct result of our own sin—but God offers hope through Jesus. Tune in and be encouraged!

And basically the question is: Is He good? Is God still good? This is a tough question, but the Bible has the answer. Stick around,I think you’re going to be encouraged.
