New Church Video: “Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?”

- Advertisment - LDS Bookstore Jewelry

A new video from the Church follows a man named Brock and tenderly addresses struggles he faced. Brock worked hard to support his family. And when his career took off, he felt like he had life by the tail—until the day the car he was in was struck by a large truck. In his frustration and anger, Brock sought to understand. He’d never wanted to be poor. He’d worked hard to build a successful career, and to have it taken away—by someone who chose to text and drive—was hard.

The video seeks to help answer the question about why bad things happen to good people. Watch it below.
