Responding to Suffering
With Dr. Curt Thompson
What is happening inside us when we ourselves suffer or those around us are suffering? What is happening in our brain? In our soul? Curtis is joined by “the other Curt” – Dr. Curt Thompson – to talk about his new book, The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope. Their conversation explores questions such as: What is the connection between our desire for beauty and our vulnerability to suffering? Why do we avoid others when we ourselves are suffering? Why do the sufferings of others make us so uncomfortable? Most of all, the they probe for the invitation of God amidst suffering.

This was mind-blowing for me. I don’t think I’ll ever look at suffering the same way again. I’m going to Amazon for the book now.
Thanks for having such remarkable guests on the podcast. I invariably come away encouraged and hopeful about what God is doing in the world through His people.
