Many people have an opinion about how evil was created.  Rev. Thea Wilson, Dr. Susan Smith, Dr. Willie Jolley, and Minister Dentis Shaw engage in a passionate discussion regarding their interpretation of scripture as it relates to the question, "Did God Create Evil?"

Is it right to portray God as an all-loving God when there is so much evil in the world and when scripture clearly states that God has done what appears to be evil things in the Old Testament?

And if God is all good then how can we have all of these killings?  Why doesn't He intervene?

My guests tackle these questions and more.

We are meant to learn and grow in this life. Unfortunately, we can be lead astray by so many things and before we even realize it, we have become unrecognizable to ourselves. Each of us possess the power within us to create a new existence. We can be reborn and reacquainted with who we really are inside. Regardless of where you are on your journey, you don't have to do it alone." Quote by Rene Pierre
