If God is good… why does your life still hurt?

In this message, Pastor Terrell Medina tackles one of the hardest questions anyone can ask:
Why does God allow evil and suffering?

Walking through Genesis 3, Joseph’s story, and the cross of Christ, you’ll discover:

Where evil and suffering actually come from
How God can be sovereign over everything without being sinful
Why your pain is not pointless
How to trust God even when life doesn’t make sense

If you’ve ever asked, “Why would God allow this?” this message will challenge your thinking and point you to real hope.
