Will Someone Just Help Me!?

Beginning with a powerful scene from The Madisons, Chaplain Tim considers what happens after someone has talked, cried, answered questions, and tried to make sense of what they are experiencing. Sometimes people need to be heard. Sometimes they are asking whether we have anything to offer them. But what happens when listening isn’t enough? In this episode of The Chaplain’s Chair, Tim Lajoie explores Christian chaplaincy, spiritual care, grief, guilt, forgiveness, death, and the moments when a hurting person finally asks, “Will someone just help me?” Through Scripture and the Christian understanding of grace, grief, death, and resurrection, this episode considers what it means to listen carefully while also being willing to speak when someone is searching for hope.
