Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? (A Better Way to Look at It)

Why do bad things happen to good people?

It’s a question we’ve all asked… and one that doesn’t always come with a clear answer.

In this episode, I share a powerful and personal story involving my daughter—an experience that completely changed how I see pain, loneliness, and hardship. What if the difficult things we go through aren’t just random… but actually preparing us for something greater?

What if pain is teaching us how to see, feel, and help others the way God does?

If you’ve ever struggled to understand why life can be so hard—or you’re walking through something difficult right now—this episode will give you a new perspective rooted in empathy, growth, and faith.

You may not find a perfect answer… but you might find a better one.
