Episode 11 - Sanctification with Karen Swallow Prior

When it comes to spiritual growth and personal righteousness, many Christians have a set of expectations for themselves and for God. What happens when our sanctification process isn't as smooth as we think it should be? How do we handle doubts and failures? Today, I speak with Dr. Karen Swallow Prior, author of the new book The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis. We discuss some of the cultural and historical factors that led to these expectations, and what to do when the life of faith doesn't always feel like we think it should.
