20: Is God Good? (with Paul McCauley)

Paul McCauley returns to the podcast to join Jonny, Luke and Peter for a thought-provoking conversation about some of the most difficult questions people ask when reading the Old Testament.

Together, the team explores these challenging topics, addressing common objections and examining them through the wider story of the Bible. Rather than avoiding the difficult passages, they consider how God's justice, holiness and mercy are revealed throughout the Old Testament and ultimately fulfilled in Christ.

A recurring theme throughout the discussion is that many misconceptions about God's character arise from an inadequate understanding of two realities: the devastating seriousness of sin and the incomparable goodness and holiness of God. By placing these difficult passages within their biblical context, the conversation offers a fresh perspective on God's moral character.
