Justin, this is such a raw and necessary question especially when cancer or other deep suffering hits so close. Your part two really captures how the problem of evil isn’t just philosophical; it’s personal and painful, shaking our trust in God’s love.
I wrestled with this same question intensely and ended up creating a podcast episode called ‘Did God Give Us Cancer?’ It explores why we often blame God for diseases like cancer, what Scripture actually says about the origin of suffering (the fall, sin’s curse on creation Genesis 3, Romans 8), and how God isn’t the author of our pain but the Redeemer who enters into it with us and promises ultimate healing.
I’d love for you to check it out if it resonates it’s on my site at sanctuaryfaith.org (under the podcast section). Your article and my episode feel like they speak to the same heart-cry, and I’d be honored if you listened and shared any thoughts.
