How to Suffer WELL with Psychiatrist Curt Thompson

If God is really good, why does life seem so unfair? If He really loves us, why doesn’t He do something about our suffering? Renowned psychiatrist Dr. Curt Thompson (@BeingKnownPodcast) teaches us how to find and maintain hope in the face of immense personal and global suffering. Also, Maybe God host Eric Huffman opens up about his own personal suffering, including the very recent and devastating loss of his mother.
