75. The Problems We Have With Suffering

We welcome the voice of one of our friends and supporters to kick us off on the topic of suffering! Courtney wonders if there's a better way to conceptualize suffering beyond the one interpretation she was taught at a young age. We discuss the book of Job, our desire for suffering to mean something, tears in heaven, conditioning and positive reinforcement, and much more.Mentioned in the episode:Courtney Clark featured on Know Normal PeopleJulian of Norwich WikiOn Being with Krista TippettWho Lives, Who Dies, Who Decides by Sheldon Ekland-OlsonCollective Church: It's About Job sermon by Courtney ClarkJoin our community at patreon.com/ravelpod for as little as $3/mo!
