Description
In the wake of the Las Vegas shooting, we fight to understand a murderer's motive. And many times we hear the words 'pure evil' to describe the act of lone gunman Stephen Paddock.
What is evil? Where does it come from? Why if God is good does he allow it?
Theologian and author Dr. John Rankin, founder of Theological Education Institute International, explores with Lauren, the nature of evil, including his own personal encounters with a real demonic presence.

All Religions Condemn Suicide, and Yet Suicide Continues To Grow: With the recent celebrity suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, Lauren takes a look at suicide from a religious point of view with College of Holy Cross religion professor, Mathew Schmalz. He wrote an article called, "Why the Religions of the World Condemn Suicide", which basically explains why the vast majority of faiths, even with their differences in doctrine, agree on this subject that your life is not your own. But then the question remains, why the increase in suicides? Is it because of a corresponding rise in the number of people with no faith? We take a look at the issue of how our fractured, fast-paced and goal-oriented lives have contributed to the rise in suicides, which has become epidemic, and why faith communities can help turn the tide. by Lighthouse Faith
