Today we are honored to sit down and talk with psychologist, author, and speaker Dr. Diane Langberg. Dr. Langberg is the author of numerous books, including Suffering and the Heart of God, On The Threshold of Hope, and her newest book coming out in October called Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church. How should a Christian understand and respond to trauma in their own life and in the lives of others? How can the church integrate recovery from trauma into its discipleship model? How can the church create a space for the traumatized to share their stories and find help?

Have you heard terms like white fragility, intersectionality, white privilege, or social justice? Join us today as we talk with Dr. Neil Shenvi about the theory behind these ideas.

Join me today for a timely discussion with Dr. John Rush, assistant professor of economics at Covenant College, as we talk about the ongoing economic impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

There are no clear answers, but the discussion will help all of us process our personal concerns and the big picture.
