Embodied Hope: A Theological Meditation on Pain & Suffering

with Dr. Kelly Kapic

Often the Christian attitude toward suffering is characterized by a detached academic appeal to God's sovereignty, as if suffering were a game or a math problem. Dr. Kapic invites us to consider the example of Jesus Christ. Only because Jesus has taken on our embodied existence, suffered alongside us, died, and been raised again can we find hope.
