Why? God and Suffering

Series: Why? Asking God the Hard Questions

Where is God in the midst of suffering? Is God sitting back, letting it happen? Does everything happen according to God’s will? How do we explain how there can be a loving God and horrible tragedies at the same time? This age old dilemma is what theologians call theodicy.

Join us as we wrestle with these realities together and look for God’s presence in the midst of this.
