Why would a good and loving God allow evil, pain, and suffering? This is one of the most difficult and emotional questions in life — and one of the strongest objections skeptics raise against Christianity. In this video, Erik Borlaug explores an ancient story in I Kings 14 in which the “problem of evil” takes center stage. King Jeroboam’s son falls sick, and God’s response may surprise you. This 3,000-year-old account gives us a fresh perspective on suffering, evil, and God’s mercy. Whether you’re a skeptic wrestling with hard questions or a Christian seeking answers for your own faith, this biblical story sheds light on how God can work even through suffering.
