EP 14 The Problem of Suffering & Evil

🎙️ Welcome to Another Episode of the Parable Podcast!

In today’s episode, we’re deeply privileged to be joined by Fr. Antonios Kaldas, a Coptic Orthodox priest, academic, and philosopher, for an honest and thought-provoking conversation on one of the most profound questions of faith: Why does God allow suffering and evil?

Together, we explore some of life’s most difficult realities through the lens of Christian theology:

How the presence of evil challenges — and ultimately deepens — our understanding of God’s goodness.

The spiritual significance of suffering and how it can become a path to transformation.

What Scripture, tradition, and the Church Fathers teach us about pain, injustice, and the hope we find in Christ.

This episode offers a rich blend of intellectual clarity and pastoral wisdom. Whether you’ve struggled with personal suffering, questioned God’s justice, or simply want to better articulate the Christian response to evil, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
