Summary

The coronavirus pandemic has caused enormous pain and suffering across the globe. Many in our country and around the world are grappling with big questions about life and God because of the pain caused by this crisis. Even for those who are only witnesses to the tragedy, these events are alarming and begging certain questions. In this three-part series, Aaron is going to confront the question of if God is good, then why did he allow the coronavirus? In Part 2, we will consider the three major families of worldviews and consider what answer they each provide for pain and suffering. This episode primarily examines pantheistic and atheistic worldviews and the next episode will cover theistic. Check out the show notes below for highlights and resources. Show Notes Your worldview is a set of beliefs that you use to interpret and interact with the reality around you. In it’s most basic form, a worldview answers three questions: where did we come from, what is the problem with the world?, and what is the solution to the problem? Each individual person is unique and will subscribe more or less to one worldview, often blending together multiple worldviews. Intellectual integrity demands we remain consistent with the worldview of our choice.
