Episode notes

When i was on my entrance ship, we calld it a vicarage in the lutheran church. One of the ladies there, whose husband had recently died, she says that is the worst s i've ever heard in my entire life. We almost pursue a dualism where we cut ourselves off om created stuff. You start to recognize that salvation is all things being made new. That your body is something not to be dismissed, but to be renewed.

In a life filled with suffering, is a good life truly possible? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Eric Landry, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller ask the hard questions about sin, suffering, and real life. Just because this life can be hard doesn’t mean that we should embrace a dualism that places the body and soul in opposition to each other. Instead, we need to acknowledge a certain realism about how the world functions on this side of the fall, being honest about what is evil—and even just disappointing. We can do so by clinging to God’s sovereignty in the midst of our suffering, his creativity to use it for our good, and his kindness to give us tangible good gifts even now, while we look with hope towards the future glory that awaits.
