We’ve all heard a version of this question asked before. Many of us have asked it ourselves. It goes something like this: “If God is good, why do bad things happen?” People going through great hardship often ask this as a cry of desperation. “God, where are you? Have you forgotten me?” Today we’re going to dive into this question and try to discover God in the midst of hardship.
