Grief and Lament a Conversation with Dr. Frank James
Description
Is it ever ok to question God’s love or wisdom, especially when you love
and serve Him but experience tremendous loss? Dr. Frank A. James, President
and Professor of Historical Theology at Missio Seminary in Pennsylvania
joins Dr. Chuck F. Betters to talk about this very question. Frank’s story
of loss started when his younger brother, Kelly, was trapped in a snow cave
on Mt. Hood and an unyielding blizzard prevented rescue. News outlets from
all over the world covered the fear and anguish of Frank’s family as they
waited for news about Kelly. Frank describes the emotional roller coaster
of hope, fear, confusion, despair and lament as they waited and then as
they realized Kelly would not survive. As a professor, author, seminary
president, how is it possible Frank struggled with hard theological
questions about suffering and lament. Frank’s transparency will encourage
you to better understand how God welcomes your questions and holds you
tightly in His grip when you struggle to understand His purposes.
