This one is a no-holds-barred conversation! Ready to be challenged in how you look at suffering? Well-respected Christian psychiatrist Dr. Curt Thompson is here to flip how we think about suffering. He and Alisa walk through the three reasons for suffering and how learning to contend with it can lead to hope and resiliency. This message contradicts the world's message about suffering and will change your thoughts about facing challenges and painful experiences.  Curt is a leading voice in teaching us how we all desire to be truly known and must tell truer stories about ourselves. His new book, The Deepest Place, releases in August. Until then, you can read his popular works, including The Soul of Shame. Connect with Curt at curtthompsonmd.com.
