688 God’s Goodness in a World with Evil

Few questions feel as heavy as this one: if God is good, why is there so much evil and suffering in the world? In this episode of The Daily Grind, we approach that question with honesty rather than quick answers. Drawing from Knowing Christ Today and The Allure of Gentleness, this conversation explores how Christian faith does not begin with explanations, but with God’s presence in the middle of pain. Jesus never minimized suffering or rushed people past grief. Instead, He entered it Himself. This episode invites listeners to embrace a faith that makes room for lament, questions, and trust—one that does not deny evil, but refuses to believe it has the final word. God’s goodness is revealed not by distance from suffering, but by His refusal to abandon us within it.
