When we find ourselves in the dark after loss, big questions often follow: Where is God now? Why can’t we sense His presence? How can I trust that God is good? The deep theological wrestlings that arise after the pain of grief can be jarring. But we need permission to ask the raw questions and space to say them aloud. Join Aubrey Sampson and her guests–theologians, pastors, and Christian thought leaders as they unpack what we find in the dark–whether it be a dark night of the soul, disillusionment, disappointment or grief and in each conversation, offer glimmers of light, hope, and healing.
