In the early morning hours of July 4, a massive flash flood occurred along the Guadalupe River, taking the lives of over 130 people, including a number of children from a Christian camp. Tragedies such as this raise the question, why would a good and loving God allow such an event? Dr. Paul Pettit of Dallas theological seminary joins host Don Hawkins to discuss the topic.
