Episode Synopsis

On Wednesday, September 10th, a student at Evergreen High School shot two students before shooting himself. Within the same hour, Charlie Kirk, a young political activist and speaker, was shot and killed while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. In I Thessalonians 4, Paul exhorts the church in Thessalonika to live in light of Jesus’ resurrection. He then adds, “that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.” What does grieving with hope look like? Dave and Autumn discuss how to respond to tragedy, to lament, and to long for the kingdom with hope.Resources mentioned in this episode:Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
