Is Life Fair?

Does Everything Happen for a Reason?

We continue the conversation with a brief discussion on biblical authorship. Should we be concerned that very few books of the Bible are named after their actual authors? Additionally, Pastor Kyle walks us through some of the BEST vs WORST things to say to someone whose life feels really unfair. Apparently trying to explain other people's suffering back to them is not a great move.  Finally, Kyle opens up about a couple of periods in his life where life has felt very unfair and how it impacted his faith. If you have ever felt angry or needed some space from God during a really difficult time, you are not alone.

You can run, you can hide, but grief comes for us all. In today's episode, Kyle does a deeper dive into his sermon on the topic of grief. For starters, we learn some really important background on some of your favorite worship songs. Spoiler alert...some of these stories are super sad. Then, we explore several strategies for actually dealing with our losses. Some people like to listen to music; some consume a lot of dairy apparently. And finally, Kyle opens up about one of the grief journeys he is currently navigating in his own life.
