Welcome to Teach Back Tuesday, where we replay the most popular episodes from the previous season.

This week, we're dialing back to an age-old question. The title of this episode,

Why Did God Let This Happen, is a question that so many of us have asked. This episode received

thousands of downloads over the year, perhaps in part because so many of us

have wondered this to ourselves, even if we've never said it out loud. This will be a good review

episode for those of you who have been listening since the beginning, and it will give a shift

in perspective for those of you who are new to keep the heart. Here's the lesson. I was watching a movie telling the

story of Johnny, Eric Santata, a woman who was out for a swim with her family one day when she took

a dive from a raft into what she thought was deep water. Her head struck the bottom, snapped back,

and crushed a portion of her spinal cord.

Her life was permanently changed. She walked onto that beach, but after the diving accident,

she was carried out on a stretcher as a quadriplegic. In a moment of deep despair during her

painful rehabilitation, she asked this question, why did this happen to me?

Have you ever wondered the same thing? Why did God bring you into such a hard place?

Why didn't he keep the event from happening? If God is all powerful, why does he allow us to suffer

when he could easily stop it?

Is God being unfair to us?
