Suffering & The Mystical Body of Christ w/ Charlie Hall No. 94 The Invitation
-
- Religión y espiritualidad
What do we do with suffering? Why would we want to cooperate with the pain? How can suffering be helpful?
There are many reasons to be concerned with the way organized religion handles these very vulnerable questions. In this episode, I talk with worship leader Charlie Hall, an old friend about these things. That we can engage such vulnerabilities after so much time--this bears witness to the mystical body of Christ that exists beyond time and space.
The prayer for this episode: that we might recover a deeper trust in God and other people, to be honest about our suffering, and not alone.
I visited Oklahoma City in December of 2017 to gain support during the launch of the Invitation as a not-for-profit. OKC had been a spiritual home for much of my early adulthood. This conversation with worship leader, Charlie Hall is the second of two conversations I recorded during that trip. As I review the previous conversation with Brock Bingaman (episode #94) and this one with Charlie, my heart is full of gratitude for the spiritual reality of the church.
