Theologian Miroslav Volf and CCT Director Evan Rosa reflect on how experiences of suffering tend to deprive us of our sense of control. Often times this perceived loss of agency is one of the most shattering aspects of suffering. The control that many of us believe we have over our circumstances is a source of great comfort, and therefore it can be disorienting to suddenly realize this sense of power is largely a facade. Dr. Volf suggests viewing this deconstructive process as an opportunity for potential improvement. The experience of having false elements of the self removed creates the space for growth in Christ.
