Suffering Well | Mark 8:31-38 | February 28, 2021

My Next Steps – An Invitation to Journaling and Reflection….
  1. Is there suffering in your life that needs to be explored rather than explained?
  2. Is there pain that you need to integrate into your life rather than endure?
  3. Can you embrace a God who suffers? Reflect on this statement from Barbara Brown Taylor…”What the cross teaches us is that God’s power is not the power to force human choices and end human pain. It is, instead, the power to pick up the shattered pieces and make something holy of them – not from a distance but right up close!”
