Neither Disembodied nor Triumphalist: The Voice of Christian Hope
How might giving voice to our suffering allow us to more fully rest in our hope in Christ?
How do we honestly bring our suffering before the Lord while still clinging to and trusting in His goodness and plan for our lives?
In this series, our writers will consider the rightful place of lament, learning to name our sorrow without allowing it to become the center of our identity, displace our one true hope, or define the story we tell about the world, ourselves and our Creator.
This series explores the ordinary, yet challenging seasons of life through a social work perspective. Together, these reflections invite us to look beyond life’s challenges as problems to be managed and consider how we might respond with wisdom, presence, compassion, and hope to the people and circumstances God places before us.
When we understand diversity as something embedded in God's design for His creation—unfolding in complexity and woven together intentionally—we begin to see the world’s fullness, beauty, and purpose more clearly.
