Send us Fan MailIn Esther 3, we are introduced to one of the most prideful, vile characters in all of Scripture:  Haman the Agagite.  Haman is a character that has one sole aim in mind:  the elevation of Haman.  In this chapter, Haman is concerned with the annihilation of a people group he believes should no longer exist:  the Jews.  He is able to persuade the king to write an order to destroy the Jewish race entirely throughout Persia.  This is further complicated by Haman's specific hatred toward Mordecai (Esther's guardian before becoming Queen).  This episode looks at the fact that evil exists in this world and that furthermore, Christians will experience persecution in some fashion.  Finally, despite the confusion we see around us, we don't have to fear.  God still has a plan and we can trust Him.

In this second session, our discussion turns from individual philosophical arguments to the broader assumptions that shape modern debates about evil and God's existence. Drawing on Scripture and the Christian tradition, we reflect on themes such as the Fall, original sin, eternal life, and the nature of human dependence upon God. Rather than attempting to explain away suffering, Dr. McDaniel encourages us to consider how Christian belief reframes the meaning and context of evil itself. We also explore why Christians need not surrender our own theological commitments when engaging with intellectual challenges raised from a perspective of secular modernity.⛪ Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to:

The problem of evil is an important thing to reconcile in soteriology, so today we will examine 8 big questions that are commonly asked. * 00:00 - Introduction * 04:49 - Question 1: Why are we totally depraved? * 09:22 - Question 2: How do we explain people doing good? * 15:06 - Question 3: Why is there evil in the world? * 22:28 - Question 4: Does God predestine sin? * 54:23 - CHALLENGE: Jeremiah 19:1-6* 1:04:27 - Question 5: How can God ordain evil without being evil? * 1:19:07 - Question 6: How can God ordain arguments?* 1:31:37 - Question 7: What about suicide? * 1:34:53 - Question 8: What about the unforgivable sin?

In this episode, Dr. Oord engages with chapter 14 of his new book A Systematic Theology of Love - Volume 1: God & Creation as lays out his six-fold proposal for solving the problem of evil, the biggest challenge to belief in God for many atheists and agnostics.A Systematic Theology of Love - Volume 1: God and Creation is now available for purchase in hardcover, paperback, e-book, and audiobook formats.

How can an All-Powerful, Good and loving God allow so much evil in the world? 'The Problem of Evil is one of the greatest and most difficult challenges to our faith, What are we to make of all the evil and suffering of the world and how does the Problem of Evil actually reveal the glory of God rather than questioning a good and loving God actually exists?

In this opening lesson, we begin examining the problem of evil as both a philosophical challenge and a theological question. Our discussion explores several major attempts to explain suffering—including free will defenses, higher-order goods arguments, and skeptical theism—while considering the strengths and limitations of each. Along the way, we are encouraged to reflect on how modern secular assumptions often shape these debates in ways Christians need not accept uncritically. This lesson lays the groundwork for a deeper exploration of how the Christian tradition approaches suffering, evil, and the nature of God.⛪ Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to:

In the modern West, the problem of evil and suffering remains one of the greatest challenges to faith: If God is good and all-powerful, why do evil and suffering exist? If He cares, why doesn't He intervene? And if He can intervene but doesn't, what does that say about His goodness? What makes this even more difficult is that suffering refuses to stay philosophical—often forcing itself into our lives without permission. What do we do with that tension?CITY CHURCH EXISTS TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR WAY TO GOD FROM WHERE THEY ARE.You can find us here:www.citychurchboulder.com www.facebook.com/citychurchboulder www.instagram.com/citychurchboulder

Levi Walker /// "Asking For a Friend" /// 4-15-26

Those who invoke Jesus for socialism face a tension: if the power to end suffering creates a moral obligation, then the Jesus who healed many but not all appears, by that standard, either unwilling or unable.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/jesus-and-christian-socialists-problem-evil

Dr. Frank Turek was standing just 25 feet away when Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University. In this raw, heartfelt interview, Turek shares the full eyewitness story: the final walks and conversations with Charlie about government, the resurrection, family, and marriage; the chaotic moments after the shot; the desperate drive to the hospital while holding Charlie; the surgeon's words; and Charlie's grieving widow Erika Kirk's strength and call to continue the mission. Turek also addresses the conspiracy theories swirling around the tragedy (including attacks on Erika), why Occam's Razor points to a lone radicalized shooter, Charlie's humility and time management as a mentor figure, and how this "impact event" has amplified the gospel. He pivots to the big questions: Why does God allow evil? How does the cross reconcile justice and love? And why Charlie is in heaven not because of his accomplishments, but because of Jesus' sacrifice. A powerful tribute to a young man who lived boldly for Christ, united conservatives, and inspired a generation. Watch till the end for Turek's gospel presentation from the memorial service and reflections on courage, grief, and legacy.If this moves you, share it — Charlie would want the truth and the gospel to keep spreading.Go to https://www.freedomcon26.com/ to register for Freedom Con 2026!Support the showThanks for listening! Go to www.StrongerManNation.com for more resources. 

Simone Halpin, Kelly Brady, John Vandervelde, and Matt Marron respond to questions from John's sermon from April 12, 2026

Amir Saemi's exciting book Morality and Revelation in Islamic Thought and Beyond: A New Problem of Evil (Oxford UP, 2024) is a fascinating and deeply thought-provoking study that challenges how we think about scripture, morality, and divine authority. Saemi tackles what he calls the “New Problem of Evil,” a divinely prescribed problem of evil, which is the tension between the commands found in sacred texts, our own moral judgments, and the belief in a morally perfect God. Saemi demonstrates the limits of scripture-first approaches, which is to say that scripture is given precedence over our independent moral judgments in cases where the two conflict. He explores ethics-first solutions that allow the believer to take moral reasoning seriously, while also showing that scripture's injunctions can be understood as legal or social mandates. By tracing the arguments of Ashʿarites, Mu'tazilites, and other medieval Islamic thinkers, and developing alternative solutions, Saemi offers a methodical and historically grounded framework for reconciling moral judgment with scriptural authority. In our conversation, Amir and I explore how Islamic philosophers like al-Ghazālī, al-Rāzī, al-Fārābi, and others navigated the relationship between reason and revelation, and how we might approach morally troubling passages in scripture today, including through an ethics-first approach. We also discuss thick and thin moral concepts, the Moses Principle, and what it means to reconcile modern moral sensibilities with ancient texts. Amir shares insights on gendered morality, the ethical significance of the Abraham story, and the broader implications of his work for progressive Muslims and theists alike. This book is essential reading for readers interested in the ethics of interpretation, the challenges faced by contemporary religious communities when re-interpreting historical texts, theists wrestling with moral dilemmas, and anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, religion, and ethics.

It's Witness Wednesday! Are you prepared to see the insanity of radical subjectivity put to the test? What about our own consciences? Join Todd for real, on-the-street conversations about faith, truth, and Christ's gospel. SEGMENT 1 • Taj claims truth is subjective—until Todd exposes the contradiction. • Being raised in a Christian environment does not make one a Christian. • If you're clearly guilty before a just God… how can we have real hope? SEGMENT 2 • Peyton rejects design in the universe—Todd highlights the error with a simple analogy. • Think you're a “good person”? A quick test exposes lying, lust, theft—and a verdict you probably won't like. • If God already knew you'd sin, are you still accountable when judgment comes? SEGMENT 3 • Tiernan was told by a Catholic teacher to leave Christianity and explore other beliefs. • If God can erase your guilt, remove your shame, and give you purpose—what's the reason that you're rejecting Him? • Is your conscience just psychology… or evidence that you're accountable to a Creator you can't ignore? SEGMENT 4 • Tiernan rebuts Todd with the classic objection: the problem of evil. Can Christianity survive this? • Todd reframes the gospel: not just escape from hell, but a complete rewiring of how you think, feel, and see reality. • If Christianity answers guilt, suffering, purpose, and truth—what's actually stopping you from surrendering today? ___ Thanks for listening!

Sometimes our greatest struggle is not the pain we carry, but the myths we believe about pain. Many Christians believe at least one dangerous lie about suffering. But Scripture tells a very different story. Connect with us: YouTube: YouTube.com/@soul02-oxygen Facebook: @LP.Oxygen https://www.facebook.com/LP.Oxygen Instagram: LP.Oxygen Twitter: @Soul025 Buzzsprout: Soul02-Buzzsprout Spotify: Soul02 - Spotify Apple: Soul02-Itunes Stitcher: Soul02-Stitcher 

Today's podcast is inspired by a singular paragraph from Carl Jung's autobiography in which he discusses the relationship between self-knowledge and understanding evil. It brings so much to unpack, which is why I dedicate an entire episode to it. I'm sure it will bring you something worthy of reflection and feeling throughout your being. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Sunday morning message from Pastor John.

Today we sit down with Ryan Pauly, founder of Think Well, to talk apologetics, evangelism, and the questions that shake faith—especially why God allows evil.Ryan shares his journey from Christian upbringing to deep theological growth, why knowledge and love go together, and how apologetics fuels real evangelism by “clearing the fog” so people can see Jesus.We also tackle: • The emotional vs intellectual problem of evil • Why evil and moral outrage actually point to objective morality • The “God of the Old Testament is a moral monster” objection • Slavery in the Bible: context, misconceptions, and hard questions

What questions do you have about evil? And most importantly, how does God address the problem of suffering and evil?We all will experience some degree of suffering in this lifetime. Some of you have probably already experienced some real suffering, because we're not immune to it.Even as believers, we are not immune to it. But it's important to know that there are no easy pat answers to this question of human suffering.We're not dealing with a problem to be solved. It's really more of a mystery that we need to understand. So this message is all about gaining understanding.The Lord spoke this through Isaiah, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." - Isaiah 55:8-9 >>Watch on YouTube
