About this episode

Brant Hansen explores how sorrow can be a response to evil and injustice, drawing from Jesus' example to promote compassion and hope in a broken world.

If anger isn't supposed to be our default response to evil and injustice, what is? Brant explores another possibility: sorrow. Drawing from the way Jesus responded to a broken world, he looks at how sorrow can move us toward compassion, action, and love without trapping us in rage. He also reflects on the difference between simply knowing things about God and actually living in relationship with Him—and why trust in God's character is what lets us remain hopeful even when the world feels deeply broken.
