Looking at the world today, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed. The environment is declining. Wars are breaking out around the world. In the face of so many evils, what reason is there for hope?

In this lecture, philosopher Brian Ballard argues that the very evils that might lead us to doubt there is a God should also lead us to hope there is a God. As long as God might exist, we can hope that all is set right in the end.
