Love Period with Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis

Why Our Tears Matter with Rev. Ben Perry

Listen Later

Do you see weeping as a spiritual experience?  

On this episode, Rev. Ben Perry joins Jacqui to help us embrace the healing power of tears. Together they explore Ben's new book, Cry, Baby, discuss how scripture inspired it, and what tears have to do with our faith. As Ben explains: “Weeping after acts of violence reminds us that this is not the way God intends the world to be. This is not preordained violence, blessed by God—it is a violation of God’s intent for our lives.” 

This moving conversation offers us a glimpse of what awaits us on the other side of sadness and grief, and how it can enrich our faith.
