We believe pain and suffering are real, and the questions about WHY it’s such a part of our human condition deserve a real answer.

Take it further by sending us your comments & questions (info@yourcrosscreek.com), using the study questions with a friend, and listening to the next 5 messages in this series.
Covered in this week’s session of “So, what about…” Part 4: What about Evil & Suffering? Every belief system has to answer the question of evil and suffering. How do some of the major religious explain evil and suffering? We’ll cover those, and contrast Christianity’s answer. (Hint: it has to do with Jesus.)
