Welcome to the Further Gospel Podcast, where we provide sound doctrine for everyday people.

I'm your host Kosti Hen and this is episode two of a three-part series with my friend

Tim Chalice who's been walking us through an understanding of

seasons of sorrow. That's the title of his book. Have it here if you're watching you can see it on

your screen. Phenomen phenomenal book about his journey and continued journey

with his son Nick going home to be with Jesus. If you haven't heard the first

episode I'd encourage you to go back and watch it or listen to it as he takes us into that story.

But in this episode, we're going to talk about God being good, God's sovereignty, some theology and doctrine, I think great and challenging topics and I just want to welcome back. Tim, Tim, thanks for being on the for the gospel podcast.

Yeah, thank you. I'm glad to be here. All right, I want to get right to it. My first question is about God's goodness. We hear I grew up in a church that did this preacher would say

God is good and all the people say all the time and then and all the time and everyone

would say God is good as Christians we all of us can be

guilty of what I would describe as prosperity gospel light it's like the diet

version you're not you, flying in a private

plane and wheeling and dealing in the gospel, but we think at times, because we're

Christians, we follow Jesus, everything's going to be good good and that because God is good his definition of good is the same as ours

Can you help us understand and I know you're gonna kind of go on a run here because I know this

isn't a quick answer, help us understand God's goodness, quote unquote, in the midst of

something so terrifying, so painful, so difficult as what you went through.

I've got more questions for you,

but could you start us there?

I've been in churches too where they said that God is good all the time all the time

God is good and it's one of those things that I think is so precious and yet can become so
