Son asked me the hard questions about faith today
My 8 year old asked why God lets bad things happen to good people and honestly I wasn't prepared for it. Tried to explain it in age appropriate ways but felt like I fumbled it. How do you guys handle these moments when your kids start questioning things? Want to encourage his faith but also validate his questions.
That's the tough one. I had something similar with my oldest and honestly I just told him that's one of life's biggest mysteries and even adults struggle with it. Sometimes "I don't know, but here's what I believe" is more honest than trying to have all the answers.
