You’ll be challenged to think deeply about how to comfort others in their suffering and how to recognize shallow theology that offers no hope.If you’ve ever been hurt by bad counsel—or needed a reason to hope again—this episode will help anchor your faith in the rock-solid truth that Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, is alive and present, even when life seems hopeless.Stephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback Learn more at https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show
