Unit 7
If God Loves Us, Why Do We Suffer?
In this unit students will explore a final hurdle many face to belief in our unconditionally loving God: the reality of suffering. Everyone suffers in this life. Does this mean God doesn’t exist? Or, if He does exist, does suffering mean that He is not powerful enough, or perhaps not caring enough, to stop it? In this unit students will explore three special insights into the meaning of suffering that we gain as Christians, the benefits we can receive from suffering, and advice for what to do when suffering comes.
