Welcome back! I’m so glad you’re here. Before we dive into today’s episode, I want to share a quick update:
Starting next week, I’ll be releasing just one episode per week instead of two. I’ve recently stepped back into real estate, and I’m so excited to be working with a great team of successful professionals. This podcast has been such a grounding force for me, helping me align my heart with Christ and trust His guidance in every step—including this new season. While I’m adjusting my schedule, my priority remains the same: to put God first, both for myself and for you.
I’m still here, and I can’t wait to continue these conversations with you!

Now, let’s get into today’s episode: “Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?

What You Will Learn
In this episode, we will explore the age-old question, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” We’ll dive into what the Bible says about suffering, goodness, and trusting God even when life doesn’t make sense. You’ll hear personal reflections and biblical insights on how we can find peace, even when we don’t have all the answers.

Key Takeaways
• We don’t always get answers to our suffering, and that’s okay. Peace is found in trusting God, not in understanding.
• Suffering isn’t a sign of punishment—it’s part of the human experience.
• God’s faithfulness is unwavering, and He is present in our pain.
• Instead of asking “Why?”, we can ask, “What is God teaching me?” and “How is He shaping me through this?”

Scriptures Mentioned
• Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
• Isaiah 55:8-9 – My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord.
• Romans 3:10 – There is no one righteous, not even one.
• Mark 10:18 – No one is good except God alone.
• Matthew 5:45 – He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
• Psalm 34:18 – The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
• Romans 8:28 – All things work together for good for those who love God.
• Philippians 4:6-7 – The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
• John 16:33 – In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Announcement
Quick reminder: Starting next week, I’ll be releasing just one episode per week while I focus on this new chapter in real estate. But I truly believe that Curious for Christ has played a huge role in getting me to this place—grounded, aligned with God, and ready for what’s ahead. I’ll still be here, still sharing, and still growing alongside you.

Closing Challenge
This week, when you face something hard, notice how you respond.
• Do you ask Why?—or do you ask What is God doing?
• Do you try to control—or do you surrender?
• Do you hold onto your emotions—or do you bring them fully to God?

God isn’t asking us to have all the answers. He’s asking us to trust Him. And that’s enough.
