SUFFERING & INSIGHT: INTRO & THEODICY

How do we reconcile God’s goodness with the reality of suffering in the world? James Houston provides insight for us on suffering from a Christian perspective: that, ultimately, suffering in our lives can spur spiritual progress and transformation by the power of God.

This is a Legacy Audio recording drawn from a collection of free audio resources over the last 30+ years featuring themes which are still relevant today. Due to the archival nature of the recordings, some of the audio content may not be up to today's digital standards, but nonetheless, the content is still applicable.
