If God is Good, Why do Bad things happen?

Author: Damascus December 2, 2023 Duration: 25:29

“With God We Conquer All things and He Transforms all things for His Glory because He Loves us”

The Age old Question, “If God is Good, why do Bad things happen”, has been asked time and time again. Today, the guys set out to give their 2 cents on the topic. God is Good, and He loved us enough to give us the choice to choose him or reject him, and because of this, Evil entered into the world. Listen in to hear how we can take these questions to those around us


Hosted by Dan, Brad, and Aaron from the Damascus Catholic Mission Campus, Beyond Damascus is a conversation built on a simple idea: that a genuine encounter with faith should naturally lead you out into the world. This isn't about abstract theory. Each episode focuses on the tangible, sometimes messy work of integrating belief into the ordinary rhythm of your days. You'll hear the hosts draw from their own experiences-the obstacles faced, the joys pursued, the lessons learned the hard way-to offer practical perspectives on what an abundant Christian life actually looks like from Monday to Sunday. The discussion always circles back to actionable steps, providing listeners with real substance to consider and apply. Tune in for weekly dialogues that are less about having all the answers and more about navigating the journey together, exploring how spirituality fuels a more intentional and meaningful daily existence. This podcast lives in the space where personal growth meets purposeful action.
