As we go deeper in our spiritual practices during these days, our guide today is the author and psychiatrist Dr. Curt Thompson. \n\nIn this conversation, Curt talks about the virtue, and discipline, of pursuing hope, even amid the darkness of a broken world:\n\"While I am working to move toward Jesus, while I'm moving to be further in the dance of the Trinity, I continue to suffer because evil is not about to go quietly into the night ... [we must] posture ourselves with our suffering in the same way that the Holy Trinity does when it comes to the suffering that Jesus experienced, such that we can join him in that.\"\n\nThis episode is drawn from an online conversation recorded in 2023.
