New Life Rising #1: Confronting our Weltschmerz

Published: March 2, 2023, 11 a.m.

As the world around us appears to be increasingly bleak, it's understandable that we all experience Weltschmerz - a sense of weariness and sorrow that comes from being acutely aware of the evil and suffering in the world. In a thought-provoking discussion, Rev. Jacky Gatliff suggests that our natural response to this pain is trying to control and fix problems, which may ultimately be counterproductive. However, despite the despair, the season of Lent reminds us that hope is still on the horizon.

In this inspiring podcast, Discipleship Pastor Grant Caldwell delves into the Lenten Devotional, "New Life Rising" by Christianity Today. Join us on a journey through the somber season, from Good Friday's dark depths to Easter's joyful light. Through weekly episodes, we explore how we can embrace the teachings of the Gospels and experience a vibrant, fulfilling life.
