Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? With Bethany Hamilton

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with Bethany Hamilton for a powerful and honest conversation about suffering, faith, and the question we all ask at some point: why do bad things happen to good people? From losing her arm at just 13 years old to continuing to chase her passion for surfing, raising a family, and impacting lives around the world, Bethany opens up about what it really looks like to walk with God through the unexpected. She talks about choosing faith over fear, surrendering control, and finding purpose even when life doesn't make sense.

If you've ever questioned God in the middle of hardship, struggled to understand suffering, or needed hope in a hard season, this episode will encourage you. It's a reminder that even in the hardest moments, God is still good and still working.
