Curt Thompson on the Formation of Hope through Suffering

How do our brains grow? What does lasting change look like? Where do things like character and pain fit?

Curt Thompson brings neurobiology and the hope of the gospel together to live out a formationally-minded Christian life in this episode. We talk about how durable transformation happens often through suffering, the reasons for Christian hope, confessional communities, and how we live the life of faithful resilience when it's easier to follow "3 quick steps."

Listen to the end as we've got a fun little surprise for you.

Curt's newest book is The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope.
