Listen "Echoing Hope (Conversation with Kurt Willems) - KR 174"
Episode Synopsis
We all experience difficulties and hardships. But how can we learn to live richly in the midst of them? And even grow spiritually because of them? The answer is found in the hopeful humanity of Jesus.
Scot McKnight and Kurt Willems unpack what led Kurt to write a book about the hope that comes from Jesus' humanity. As the Son of God, Jesus wasn’t exempt from suffering, disappointment, or injustice. He lived in the real world as a real person. He wept for those he loved. He felt hunger and thirst. He endured temptation, betrayal, and ridicule. He died after being unjustly tortured. And somehow through it all, he embodied hope—by defeating death and opening a new world of life for us.
