ABOUT THE EPISODE
From pandemic life to racial injustice to a divisive election, the past twelve months have been hard. Many things stand between us, causing us to question, “Where do we go from here?” In episode 19 as part of the [you + me] series, Sarah invites psychiatrist, speaker, and author Dr. Curt Thompson to talk about all that has transpired in 2020 and to lend insight into how this year of the unexpected has impacted us relationally—with God and with each other. They talk about the effects of isolation, pursuing vulnerability in the face of differences, and dismantling shame. Their conversation also explores what to do when God seems silent and one question we should all be asking in the year ahead.
MEET THE GUEST
