We tackle one of the toughest questions kids ask: why do people do bad things if God made the world good? This profound question often emerges when children experience meanness or witness tragedy. (NOTE: This episode was recorded hours before the Charlie Kurt Assassination, therefore it does not address that tragedy directly. However, the answers in here are highly applicable to current events.) • God created everything "very good" (Genesis 1:31) and made humans in His image• Sin entered when Adam and Eve chose to define good and evil for themselves• People do bad things because of our sin nature, spiritual warfare, and broken world systems• The human heart is "deceitful above all things and desperately sick" (Jeremiah 17:9)• Jesus stepped into our broken world to undo the curse of sin through His death and resurrection• Use age-appropriate word pictures like broken toys or dark rooms to explain sin to children• Discipline moments are discipleship opportunities to point children to deeper spiritual realities• Model trust in God's goodness when life doesn't go as plannedEmail us at [email protected] to receive our free PDF of "Five Questions to Transform Conflict with Your Child" and share your questions about faith and parenting.Send any questions you want answered to [email protected] This podcast is presented by Wayne Christian School- A Christ-centered community school whose mission is to assist parents and churches in the education of their children from a biblical worldview to impact their world for Christ.
