In the second half of this follow-up to the recent Ruling Your Domain series, John, Blaine, and Allen address some really big questions. Topics include how to deal with chronic pain and the overwhelming suffering in this world, ways parents can respond to a physically and verbally defiant foster child in their home, how to interpret and navigate depression as part of our domain, and what a wife can do if her husband is uncooperative or not interested in leading their realm in a godly way.
