Knowing Faith

#95 – God in the Dark Places of Genesis with Tish Harrison Warren


Listen Later

This episode Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by Tish Harrison Warren. 

“We shout truths about God in the light so we can stand on them in the dark.” Kyle Worley

Questions Covered in This Episode:

  • Prayer in the Night - What made you want to write this book?
  • Is it possible to find God in a dark world?
  • Could God be good given that the world is dark?
  • How can we pray when we feel doubt that the world around us can ever be made whole again?

Helpful Definitions:

  • False Stories: All of us are living in the midst of a narrative that informs us on what the good life is. By default all of us are living in false stories and need to be invited to participate in the true story - the Christian story.
  • Consumerism: The story that tells you that you are what you have. Worth is based upon the value and quality of what belongs to me. The good life is having great things.

She is a monthly columnist for Christianity Today and you can find her articles in the New York Times, Religious News Service, Comment Magazine, and many other places.
