Tough Questions | Was Sin Part of God's Plan?

Update:
City & A Hill is paused for now. While I loved working on this project, talking to people, listening and thinking about what they said, various life changes caused this to be set aside for now. I hope to continue this either as a podcast or in another form. For now, you can find me on
YouTube or take a course with A Sweet Savor Bible School.

Summary:
In this episode we tackle a tough qusetion - was sin part of God's plan? People often wrestle with the existence of sin and evil in the face of the Bible's soverign God. How can these both be? We'll turn to the Bible to uncover the answer and see how everything fits together in the light of God's Eternal Purpose.
