When the World Feels Like Too Much

from Faith in the Cracks · host Karen Wright

This week has been a lot. Another school shooting, death of Charlie Kirk, wars in the middle East and Ukraine, and any number of person issues for any of us. It is too much. People often say, "God won't give you more than you can handle." However, that is toxic theology. God walks with us, but God is not out to break us. We can cry out and we can lean on others, and we can trust in a God who is in the messy ness of human existence with us.Support the show
