Episode 458: Why Did God Create Us to Rebel?

About this episode

Ruben Cuevas explores the question of why a good God would create humans knowing they would rebel and suffer.

Why would a good God create us knowing we'd rebel, and allow so much suffering in the world? Join me, Ruben Cuevas on "Gathering Strength" as we tackle this raw, essential question head-on, moving beyond easy answers to uncover profound biblical truth. Here's what you'll learn by tuning in: * The profound reason God values freedom over control, even at the cost of pain. * How suffering acts as a divine forge, building unbreakable character. * Why God entered our pain, rather than remaining distant from it.
