Why Did God Let It Happen?

Apr 12, 2026    Lee Faust

If God is good and God is powerful, then why is there so much pain in the world?


It’s one of the hardest questions we can ask and one of the most personal. Because this isn’t just about philosophy, it’s about real life. Loss. Heartbreak. Suffering. The things we’ve walked through and still don’t understand.


In this message, we wrestle with the reality of evil and suffering, not with shallow answers, but with honest faith. Because Christianity doesn’t ignore pain, it steps into it.


We look to a Savior who didn’t stay distant from our suffering, but entered into it, who cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” and made a way for hope on the other side.


You may not get every answer, but you can find a God who is present in the middle of your questions.
