Special Guest Host Fr. Matthew Spencer explores the complexities of God's mercy and justice. He discusses how God allows suffering not as a punishment, but as a means for growth and redemption. He answers questions on why God permits temptation and the reality of hell, emphasizing the power of free will and God's ever-present grace.
