What does it mean to suffer well without pretending that pain is good? In this honest conversation, Brittany Allen and I explore the biblical practice of lament, why comparing grief only deepens our isolation, and how God's unchanging goodness meets us in our deepest suffering. Together we reflect on the lives of Jesus, Paul, and Elijah to discover that healing isn't found in having all the answers—it's found in trusting God's faithfulness, depending on Christ, and allowing the Holy Spirit and Christian community to carry us through.

Christian nationalism has quickly become one of the most talked-about—and misunderstood—topics in America today.

Ron Moore and Tom Rojahn are joined by host Jill Kowalski to discuss God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility. The conversation engages J.I.
