Episode notes

The speakers analyze the concept of God's sovereignty and its relationship with human freedom. They explore biblical passages and examples of how God interacts with and restrains evil, setting limits and not allowing the worst to happen. They also discuss secondary causes, tragedy and suffering, and the relationship between sovereignty and prayer.

When tragedy strikes us, what do we do? Do we want to immediately blame God? Do we try to rationalize it in some way? Or do we just lose hope? When trials feel like a main player in our lives, it can be overwhelming. We might feel entitled to the answers for our questions. In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland take on the challenge of addressing God’s part in our tragedies and consider how to find our way when we feel lost.
