The Anatomy of a Tragedy (S16 Episode9)


Listen Later

Friends, we are onto our sixth of seven storylines. It is time to explore Tragedy. Now of course, some suffering finds us by chance — illness, loss, disappointment. That is tragic, but the plot line of tragedy has much more to do with the suffering we quietly choose ourselves.


The Tragedy plot line chronicles stories where a person’s greatest strength becomes the seed of their undoing. From Shakespeare’s fallen kings to Breaking Bad’s Walter White to King David himself, tragedy warns us of what happens when brilliance outpaces wisdom, when ego replaces humility, and when the hero refuses to yield.

Listen in as we explore how even our most tragic stories can still find their way back to grace.
