Public Lecture: How can God allow all this suffering?

We all experience pain, injustice, and grief — but where is God in it all? You're invited to our Annual Public Lecture exploring one of life’s hardest questions.

Join us for an engaging talk by speaker and apologist Dan Paterson, followed by an open Q&A where no question is off-limits. Come wrestle honestly with the big questions of life, faith, and meaning — and stay afterwards for light refreshments and conversation.

Dan Paterson is the founder of Questioning Christianity, a ministry helping you connect the Christian story to life’s deepest questions. He has experience as a pastor, lecturer, and public speaker, having studied Theology and Apologetics in Australia and at Oxford. Dan currently lives in Brisbane with his wife, Erin, and their favourite job is raising three wonderful boys.
