Ask Christopher West Not Being Desired, Uncleanliness & Burial of the Body, and Is Love Always Worth the Risk? | ACW294
Questions answered this episode:
- How can I show my nieces and nephews my true delight in them and help them feel truly loved and desired in the way that I never felt growing up?
- I would like to prepare my husband’s body for burial after death. I think I misunderstood the biblical teaching of uncleanliness and handling the dead. Can you help me sort out the fear of being unclean by touching a dead body?
- Is love worth the risk all the time? If yes, do you have a word of advice for someone who wants to love but at the same time is scared of expressing it?
