From personal offenses to human trafficking and genocide, we've all wondered: How can a loving, holy God allow wickedness to flourish? Even worse, how can a holy God use the wicked for His good purposes?

In this episode, join Adam, David, Corina, and Christina as they wrestle with these questions and more. Tune in to unpack how to wrestle with God when His plan doesn't seem fair, why worship and confusion can coexist, and what to do when you're waiting for an answer from God.
