In this opening episode of the series God, Goodness, and the Problem of Pain, we wrestle with one of the most difficult questions of faith: Why do bad things happen to good people? Through Scripture, and historical insight, we explore how suffering and God’s goodness can coexist—and how Jesus meets us in our pain.

In this no-punches-pulled episode, Jason exposes the crisis of unhealthy leadership within the modern Church—from spiritual manipulation and celebrity culture to flat-out unqualified pastors running unchecked.
