Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? | S1 Ep. 6

Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? - Kingdom Culture Podcast

In this episode of the Kingdom Culture Podcast, we tackle one of the most frequently asked questions in Christianity: If God is good, why do bad things happen to good people? We explore how sin entered the world through Adam and Eve's disobedience and how it impacts humanity. We also discuss the concept of goodness through the lens of Jesus' teachings, using examples such as Job's suffering and Jesus' own experiences with pain to illustrate that righteousness does not exempt us from suffering. Finally, we offer guidance on how to handle suffering by clinging to scripture, inviting God into the pain, and finding community support. Tune in for a deeper understanding and practical advice on navigating faith in challenging times.
