Ep 1214 | Texas Tragedy: Facts, Heroism, & God’s Goodness
Summary
Today, we delve into the tragic flash floods that struck Central Texas, particularly Kerrville, where the Guadalupe River surged, claiming at least 82 lives, including many campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ camp. We explore the devastating impact on families, the heroic sacrifices of rescuers, and the ongoing recovery efforts. We also address the politicization of the tragedy, debunking claims blaming budget cuts or climate change, and confront hateful social media narratives targeting the victims. Finally, we tackle the theological questions surrounding suffering and loss, offering a Christian perspective on finding hope and purpose amid such heartbreak.
