"Hang On, Let Go" with Frank Viola

from The Weight · host Oxford University United Methodist Church

Our lives are full of unexpected changes, difficult transitions, and painful crises. In the midst of these realities, we all experience moments when it seems like we have no control and all hope is lost. Some of us may descend into apathy and numbness, and some of us may enter into “fix-it” mode to attempt a solution. How can we abandon our inclination to be passive and wait for God to intervene? What steps can we take to sustain hope during our trials?Frank Viola’s recent book, Hang On, Let Go: What to Do When Your Dreams Are Shattered and Life Is Falling Apart, gives practical advice to anyone who has found themselves in a hard, dark place. Shaped out of Frank’s own pain and struggles, Hang On, Let Go offers a roadmap for experiencing transformation that points back to God’s love. He joins Eddie and Chris to discuss the difficult questions about human suffering, the gifts of presence and empathy, and the importance of perspective.Resources:Follow Frank Viola on the web:https://frankviola.org Order Hang On, Let Go here:https://frankviola.org/hangonletgo/ Check out Frank Viola’s other books here:https://frankviola.org/books/ Listen to The Insurgence Podcast from Frank Viola here
