How to Endure Brutal Suffering and Grow From It | WMF13

from Word Made Fresh · host Theology of the Body Institute

In this episode we trace four revolutions that quietly reshaped the way we see ourselves: the Industrial Revolution, the Sexual Revolution, the Digital Revolution, and the Gender Revolution. Each one promised freedom—but together they’ve pulled us further from the meaning written into our bodies and the beauty of the family.Along the way we get personal. We talk about family wounds, marriages that look strong from the outside but carry real struggles, and the mysterious way God can bring unexpected beauty out of painful chapters.We also reflect on a striking moment in Hollywood—when Robert Downey Jr. publicly defended Mel Gibson after his public fall. It becomes a window into something deeper: what redemption actually looks like, and how grace often shows up right in the middle of our mess. 🎙️ Word Made Fresh Links: 🎵 Listen WMF on Spotify 📍 Tour Dates Christopher West: 📸⁠ Instagram⁠ 🔵 ⁠Facebook⁠ 🎤 ⁠Ask Christopher West Podcast⁠Mike Mangione: 🎵 Mike's Music ▶️ YouTube  📸 ⁠Instagram⁠ 🎸 ⁠Mike's website⁠ 🗺️ ⁠Mike's tour⁠Bill Donaghy: 📸 ⁠Instagram⁠
