    Finding Meaning in Suffering with Dr. Elizabeth Hall

    In this episode of NeuroFaith, Dr. Curt Thompson interviews Elizabeth Hall, a professor of psychology at Biola University. She specializes in understanding suffering, mothering, sexism, and embodiment and draws from her personal experiences, including a battle with cancer.

Faith can offer a sense of purpose and direction, which is crucial for meaning-making during difficult times.

Dr. Hall's insights offer a profound understanding of how faith and psychological processes intertwine in the context of suffering.
