Description

Another early episode on grace and my response to a listener who took it upon himself to inform me that my mental health struggles were the result of sin. After more than five decades of torment and finding new relief for the first time by recognizing anew the depth of God’s love, I had no time for such nonsense. I’ve learned since that others found comfort in my words. The church is too often an incubator for mental and emotional anguish and fear.
