159. Kurt Willems (How the Humanity of Jesus Redeems Our Pain)

Kurt Willems returns to the show to talk about his excellent new book, Echoing Hope: How the Humanity of Jesus Redeems Our Pain. Treat yoself and grab a copy wherever you get books. Then treat someone else by getting a copy for a loved one for Easter. Much better for them than a Cadbury egg anyway. About the book: "None of us live free of difficulties or hardships. But how can we learn to live richly in the midst of them? And ever grow spiritually because of them? The answer is found in the hopeful humanity of Jesus. Echoing Hope reveals how understanding the humanity of Jesus can radically transform our identity and empower us to step into our pain-filled world in a new way. Combining rich theological insight with personal stories and practices for response, learn how we can overcome despair and encounter the beautiful potential of our lives." Kurt Willems is a pastor, writer, and spiritual director. After several years in student and adult church ministry in Central California, he partnered with the Brethren in Christ to plant a Christian community in Seattle called Pangea Church. Kurt maintains a resource website, which hosts articles and podcasts, called Theology Curator (formerly called, The Paulcast). He is passionate about taking dense ideas and communicating them in ways that are empowering for people from all walks of life.
