In this episode of the Pact Podcast, we delve into the pressing issue of natural disasters, particularly in light of recent events like Hurricane Helene and the ongoing challenges faced by communities affected by such calamities. We explore the question of why these disasters occur, examining both secular and Christian perspectives on the matter. We discuss the implications of stewardship of our environment and how our actions may contribute to the frequency and severity of these events. Additionally, we reflect on how we, as a Christian community, can respond to those in need during these trying times, emphasizing the importance of love, support, and sharing the hope of the gospel. Join us as we navigate these complex topics and seek to understand our role in a world marked by both beauty and brokenness.
