Why does God allow suffering? This evening, NBC welcomes Dan Paterson, a speaker with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries based in Brisbane, Australia. After some family tragedies in his childhood that raised a series of barriers to believe in God, Dan came to Christ at eighteen years old through an investigation of the New Testament. It was Jesusâ own suffering that moved him to faith. Today, Dan unpacks if God is all good and all powerful, then why do we experience a world that looks radically different than the one youâd think a loving God would make?
