It’s one of the hardest questions anyone can ask: If God is good, why do bad things happen? If He’s powerful enough to stop evil, why doesn’t He?

This week, we sat down with Pastor James to break down his message “If God Is Good, Why Do Bad Things Happen?”

Together, we unpack how the presence of evil doesn’t disprove God—it actually points us to Him. We talk through the difference between the evil around us and the sin within us, and how Jesus came not to condemn the world but to save it.

We also answer some of the questions you might have been asking during the sermon: Why does God allow suffering? Why is there even evil in the world? And why are there natural disasters?

If you’ve ever struggled to make sense of the brokenness in our world, this conversation will remind you that God’s story is bigger and evil is just a chapter.

Why do bad things happen if God is good? It’s a question we’ve all wrestled with at some point. If God is powerful enough to stop evil, why doesn’t He?

In “If God Is Good, Why Do Bad Things Happen?”, Pastor James unpacks how evil doesn’t disprove God but points us to Him. We’ll see that the real problem isn’t just the evil around us but the sin within us—and how Jesus came not to condemn the world but to save it. God is overcoming evil through His people, and that changes everything.

Fear Doesn’t Win | The Breakdown

Fear is real—fear of failure, fear of the future, fear of what others think. And in the past few weeks, it feels like fear has been louder than ever. But here’s the good news: fear doesn’t get the final word.

This week, we sat down with Pastor James to break down his sermon “Fear Doesn’t Win.” Together, we unpack the message, dive deeper into what it means for our everyday lives, and answer some of the questions you may have been asking as you listened this weekend. Why does God send us into places where we feel weak? How can we trust Him when fear feels overwhelming? And how do we live with courage knowing His power has no limits?

If you’ve been wrestling with worry, doubt, or anxiety, this episode will remind you that God’s presence never leaves and His care frees us from fear’s control.

We've seen a lot of fear in our world these past few weeks, so ask yourself this: what fears are holding you back right now? Fear of failure, fear of the future, or fear of what others think? The good news is—fear doesn’t get the final word.

In “Fear Doesn’t Win,” Pastor James reminds us that while fear has limits, God has none. His power knows no boundaries, His presence never leaves us, and His care for every detail of our lives frees us from fear’s control.
