Andy tackles one of the most serious and difficult questions from Christians and non-Christians alike — if God is good, why does evil happen? Or, to put it another way, why is the world broken? Although this is often a criticism of Christianity, it seems only fair that non-Christians also answer the question — if they can. Although we cannot fully explain the ways of God to man, it turns out that we can respond with thoughtfulness that makes sense of a broken world.
