Real Live Faith Podcast: Is God Really Behind Everything That Happens?

Ep. 87 When life feels chaotic with unexpected detours, painful losses, or moments when evil seems to win, it’s natural to ask: Is God behind this?

In this episode, we’re leaning into the tension between God’s absolute sovereignty and our very real free will. We’ll talk about how God is always in control, but He never causes us to sin. He is holy and good; He does not manipulate us like robots. He gave us the gift of choice, and with it, the responsibility for what we speak, think, and do.

We’ll unpack what it means that God sometimes allows what He does not approve, and how even when evil happens in this broken world, He is never absent, never surprised, and never loses control. He is able to work all things, even the painful things together for His glory and our good.

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like, “Does God make bad things happen?” or “Am I just a puppet on a string?” this conversation is for you.

Join us as we explore what Scripture says about God’s sovereignty, our free will, and the peace we can have knowing He is trustworthy through it all.
