![Ep. 29: The Problem of Evil [Why does a "good" God allow evil and suffering in the world?]](https://images.podcastpage.io/fetch/https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FXXi16fTj-gI%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg?w=365)
In this episode of the Like Stars Podcast, we talk through the intellectual/logical problems associated with evil, some of the less than perfect responses people sometimes give to it, and a better way forward that takes into serious consideration the necessity of freedom and an open world governed by natural laws in order to support life as God intends. We also pay special attention to the way in which God does intervene, especially in giving us wisdom and direction in our to find goodness and avoid evil, and in his promise to use our suffering for good if we continue to trust and follow him.

Ep. 13: A Date with Pre-Destiny [Does God Predestine or predetermine Who Will Be Saved?]
Predestination....do we have a choice? A common disagreement among Christians takes place over this question of God's sovereignty and whether or not He decides in advance who will be saved or whether it's a matter of free will. Calvinists and Arminians go back and forth about whether Paul's...
