Hello everybody! In today's episode we are exploring the age old question of "Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?". When bad things happen, we tend to ask God "Why?". Is it because we did something wrong, and are we being punished? What is happening? Well, that is what we are going to be looking at in today's episode. Starting, with the book of Job. Todays episode features scripture reading, reflections, a devotional, and we end our time together with prayer.
