Episode 6 - Hallmark Called! They Want Their Theology Back - How to show up and shut up with a friend
Send us a textWhat do you say when a friend is going through a hard time -- a time full of the worse pain and suffering? Sometimes we don't know what to say, so we say what sounds good; but is it the best thing? Is it what offers the most comfort? Just because it's found in the Bible, it doesn't mean it needs to be said. Sometimes the best thing we can do is just be quiet and be present. Bob and his friends share moments when they have messed up, when they have been unhelpfully (even hurtfully) "comforted" by well meaning people. And they share ways that they have been meaningfully ministered to as well as ways they have been learned to minister to people. This episode is so helpful for anyone who really wants to think carefully how to help the best comfort to a friend when they are in their worst season of life. Brief cameo by Miracle Max.
