Do Bad Things Happen To Good People
We live in a serendipitous world where there is a chance that anything and everything could happen. How do you handle the situations that you face — both the good and the bad? Life in and of itself is important. It is in our power to maintain and foster that life. A committed prayer life will help us keep going and realize that it is okay to have problems, as long as those problems don't overcome us. There is hope in this life even in our darkest days.
In this FatherSide Chat, Fr. Gene tackles the decline of organized religion—not with panic, but with hope. He invites us to rethink how we live and express faith, and to rediscover God through honest conversation, community, and courageous connection.
In today’s FatherSide Chat, Fr. Gene reflects on what it really means to follow Jesus—not through rigid rules, but by returning to the founder’s vision: lifting others up, facing brokenness with faith, and carrying the dream of hope daily.
