Tragedy and pain inevitably touch our lives in some way. We long to feel whole, but more often than not, the way we’ve learned to deal with our wounds pushes us away from the very restoration we need most. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Dan Allender, who’s going to teach us all about redeeming heartache and how our very familiar coping mechanisms create a false sense of health. If you’ve experienced any sort of loss or pain recently, I really want you to buckle into this conversation. Please take notes. Please rewind and listen to sections of the conversation again as you need.
