You likely know Dr. Curt Thompson from his ground-breaking work in The Anatomy of the Soul, The Soul of Shame and The Soul of Desire. We were honored to sit down in conversation with him to talk about his newest book, The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope. We shared a rich conversation around what suffering and hope look like in the context of parenting.
