S9E3: Declaration of War - and Peace
43:41 Share

Welcome to Being Known Podcast. This season we are discussing Curt's latest book, The Deepest Place) as we carefully cover each chapter to deepen your understanding of suffering and the formation of hope.

Although the bible doesn’t begin with violence, it gets there pretty quickly, beginning with a snake, then a brother killing his brother, and on and on it goes. And as it turns out, as much as we are at war in so many ways with so many others, we are more at war with God than anyone, and more at war with him than we know. Not that he’s at war with us. We just think he is.

It’s no surprise, then, to discover that our suffering is grounded more than we are aware of in the parts of us that still believe, like Adam before us, that God is out to kill us.  This week we address the necessary task of identifying the parts of us that still believe we are at war with God—so that in making peace, we can begin to change the story we tell about our suffering.
