YouTube description
Theologian Miroslav Volf and CCT Director Evan Rosa discuss the frustrating lack of understanding that frequently accompanies experiences of suffering. We often seek to gain control over our pain by grasping at possible explanations. However, Dr. Volf highlights the importance of not rushing to conclusions about our experiences. Instead, we should allow suffering to form and shape us, even in the midst of our pain, doubt, and confusion.
