Red Couch Theology

What does God expect from me?

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week, neither Alex nor I preached the sermon. But somehow, we still managed to talk for quite a while. How do we do that? Well, we talked about a fantastic question that one of you sent in, which guided the entire conversation. And actually, I think brought us some interesting discoveries about the nature of worship, the nature of repentance, the nature of fellowship and all of that. So, let's dive right in.

Why does God allow evil?
