A Theology of Suffering

Life can take unexpected turns at times. Our life can be going along without a problem on the horizon and out of nowhere we can be struck with tragedy. The sudden death of a loved one, a cancer diagnosis, chronic pain, a child who hates us, or sin that is persistent. Suffering can take many forms and become very discouraging. In this class, we will explore the reason and purpose of suffering. It will be beneficial if you experience or interact with others who experience suffering at the hands of this life.
