Why Do Bad Things Happen? Answering Tough Questions About Faith - February 26, 2026
Podcasts > The Steve Marston Show
He’s a regular guy with a cool job—and a deep love for Jesus. The Steve Marston Show is a daily, faith-and-fun conversation designed to help you take the next step in your walk with Christ. Think of it as a “200-level” discipleship course: deeper than the basics, but still practical, relatable, and real.
Each episode blends biblical truth, cultural commentary, and honest talk about marriage, parenting, identity, and what it looks like to put God first in a busy, distracted world. Along the way, Steve sits down with guests God is working through, highlights stories of transformation, explores what’s happening in the news through a Christian lens, and—yes—delivers a steady dose of dad jokes.
Serious about faith. Serious about fun. And serious about helping you live like Jesus where it matters most.

On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve tackles one of the hardest questions Christians face: If God is good, why do bad things happen to good people? Taking an honest look at suffering, eternity, and trusting God’s bigger plan, Steve explores how believers can respond to difficult questions from skeptics and seekers alike.
Plus, another edition of “That’s Not in the Bible” challenges the popular advice to “follow your heart” and explains why Scripture points us to trust God instead. Steve also answers listener emails about faith and works, whether Job was a real person, and even how Christians should tip at restaurants.
Special guest Tyler Marston joins the show to discuss the 1189 Project, a chapter-by-chapter journey through the Bible, and what Deuteronomy teaches about blessings, curses, and obedience. All that plus the verse of the week and a classic dad joke.
