b'This week we answer a teenager's question about why God would let a close family member die while bad and sinful people continue to live. Does God not care? Is he not powerful enough to stop it? Does he not really love us? Does he even exist in the first place? These are all good and honest questions that we answer. We all go through hard times in life, but ultimately we can know that God is in control, that things happen for a reason, and that just because something bad happens doesn't mean that his heart isn't breaking as much as ours is. He wants us to go to him with those struggles and wrestling through those faith issues together. In this video, some youth workers share some of their own stories about death and losing loved ones and close family members, what it did for their faith, and conclusions they've drawn from it. We hope it helps you as you struggle with these same questions.
