About this episode

This episode explores the question of why bad things happen, discussing themes of free will, sin, suffering, and God's presence in difficult times.

Why do bad things happen? It's a question as old as faith itself. In this series, we explore free will, the reality of sin and suffering, and the mystery of God's will.
