If God, Why Evil?

Dr. Frank Turek • November 9, 2025
Genesis 50:20

This week, our guest pastor Dr. Frank Turek addresses one of life’s hardest questions: why a good God allows suffering. Using Joseph’s story in Genesis 50:20, Dr. Turek’s message will offer both honest reflection on pain and a hopeful reminder of God’s redemptive plan.
“You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.” Genesis 50:20
