Beth’s BookCast

We have all been there. Your friend is going through something really hard, something heartbreaking. But you have absolutely no idea what to say or do. Brenda's book is there to help! She speaks from experience, having gone through her own heartbreak. She has watched friends handle her pain well, and not so well. She wants to help all of us become compassionate friends.

Listen along as we geek out about the human brain, chat about the beauty in pain, and talk about what to do if your friend is in pain.

This is one of those episodes that I think I will come back and listen to again and again. 

Compassion, grace, forgiveness, and love are all staples of the Christian faith. So why do Christians have such a hard time offering those things? How can we grow in this area?
