Listen "A Pastoral Response to Tragedy "
Episode Synopsis
Today, John and Matt pause to reflect on a week filled with heartbreaking tragedies. Together they wrestle with the question: How should Christians respond when the weight of evil and suffering feels overwhelming?Drawing on Scripture, pastoral wisdom, and their own experiences, they discuss the call to embody Jesus in times of division and pain. The conversation touches on lament, the dangers of allowing politics or media to define our identity, and the hope we find in Christ’s love that casts out fear.This dialogue is both sobering and hopeful, reminding us that while tragedy may dominate the headlines, our response as followers of Christ is to model peace, forgiveness, and compassion, and to begin with the change in our own hearts.For more resources on how to talk to your kids about tragedy and loss watch our recent episode with renowned child psychologist Dr. Michelle Forrester: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0rAv62sZnNOwKWJ8XpjJ8E?si=WgXwT8k5TFa92fRC8YCjJA
