S1 E3. Why Do BAD Things Happen to GOOD People?
01/12/24 • 26 min
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.
If you enjoy this episode, please leave the podcast a 5 STAR Review! It really helps us out!
ABOUT THE LAY IT DOWN PODCAST:
Life can feel so heavy sometimes. Whether it's our heart; breaking, dreams that have yet to come to fruition or prayers that have yet to be answered. These things & more cause us to just feel... heavy. So what do we do? In this podcast, we are going to talk about laying down all of these things at Jesus's feet, surrendering it to Him, and learning how to trust God, in the heaviness.
If you want to learn how to get closer to God, be encouraged, and have the tools to help you navigate the heavy, join us weekly every Friday, on the Lay it Down Podcast.
If you have something you need to lay down to Jesus, send in your entries to be shared on our podcast (anonymously or not — you can decide) at [email protected]
