In this episode, James walks us through he first half of chapter 2 of A Grief Observed.

James talks about Satan's temptation for you to make inaccurate conclusions about your situation (i.e., going too hard or too easy on yourself) and the power of reflection in combating this temptation.

He also offers some words of caution to those ministering to those in grief, lest we cause unintentional harm.

Finally, he helps us grapple with the reality that sometimes reality hits hard and what to do when that happens.

Josh and Avery sit down to discuss Avery's sermon on Genesis 1:26-31. They discuss the process of coming to a definition of the image of God, the use of the plural in verse 26, and whether God intended his creation to be vegetarians.
