Regent College Podcast

How does God enter into our daily lives––the mundane, the joyful, and the devastating? Today we're talking to Tish Harrison Warren about her book, Prayer in the Night: For Those Who Work or Watch or Weep. How do we allow the Spirit to work through our grief, our joy, and our uncertainty? How do we reconcile faith and hope with a growing awareness of our own limits? Can we trust God to keep bad things from happening to us and those we love––and if not, what kind of trust are we left with?
