Our culture increasingly avoids direct conversation about and acknowledgment of death. And yet it's everywhere. It's in our music and on our tattoos. As people of death and resurrection, we must learn to die and grieve well. Walking with others through these inevitable experiences is a rich Good News opportunity!

Dr. Rob Patterson is the Lead Pastor of Scott Street Church and teaches Thanatology at Tyndale Seminary. Mary Chapman is a Tyndale student and an intern with Rob at Scott Street Church.
