How do you hold on to hope in moments of suffering?

Dr. Curt Thompson joined me to dive deeper into the believer’s relationship with suffering and hope. In his latest book, “The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope,” Dr. Thompson pairs his clinical knowledge as a psychiatrist with his own life experience, allowing him to engage with his patients and readers of his books with empathy.

What would happen if you, too, leaned into moments of suffering and supported your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ? When you use tough moments as opportunities to lean on others in the faith, you can experience the glory and the goodness of God.
