The Problem of Pain with Dr. Bill Kynes

How can God be both good and powerful if evil exists?

We live in a world where children die of cancer, women are raped, and entire villages are wiped out by natural disasters. Yet, according to Christianity, our universe was created and is presided over by an all-powerful, good, and loving God. So how do we reconcile God's goodness and power with the existence of moral and natural evils in the world today? Join Dr. Bill Kynes and I as we discuss the tension between God as sovereign Creator and humanity as a creation imbued with free will and capable of moral transgression. We discuss whether God is the author of evil, the fairness of original sin, the Old Testament genocides, and the purpose of evil in the lives of Christians. As a former senior pastor of Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church in Annandale, Virginia, Dr. Kynes shares his wealth of experience in ministering to those in the midst of suffering and offers encouragement to those walking through the valley of the shadow of death. Throughout the podcast, we discuss lessons learned from the book of Job, from Dr. Kynes' book Wrestling with Job: Defiant Faith in the Face of Suffering, and from C.S. Lewis's Problem of Pain.

The Questioning Belief Podcast is hosted by Dr. Kathleen Noller who draws on her background as a former atheist, a scientist, and a critical thinker to explore serious questions about faith.
