When Hope Hurts: A Christian Response to Nietzsche
In this episode of The Lost Sheep Podcast, we tackle Friedrich Nietzsche’s striking claim: “Hope, in reality, is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.” What did Nietzsche mean by this, and how does his view of hope challenge the Christian understanding?
We explore Nietzsche’s background and beliefs, contrast his view with the biblical vision of hope, and turn to the story of Job — a man who suffered deeply yet clung to God with defiant trust. Along the way, we reflect on Scripture, hear from saints throughout history, and invite you into a practical prayer practice to anchor your hope more deeply in Christ.
