How God Uses Evil to Develop Our Character (Video)

In this brief excerpt from J. Warner Wallace’s talk on the Problem of Evil (taken from his best-selling book, God’s Crime Scene), J. Warner discusses one of seven reasons why an all-powerful, all-loving God might still allow an act of evil to occur. If God is loving, why would He allow bad things to happen to the people He loves? Might God use evil in the world to develop our character? What kind of world would God have to create to develop the kind of character most of us would recognize as virtuous?
