A Proper Theology of Suffering, with Jon Seidl
Part 2 of Jon's guest-host episode of Spiritual Brain Surgery will help you understand suffering in a new way
Hello friend,
In this episode of the Spiritual Brain Surgery Podcast, I’m honored to welcome back my friend, the brilliant writer Jon Seidl. Click here to subscribe to Jon's powerful, daily writing on Substack.
Jon has graced us with TWO guest-hosted episodes, and I’m so excited to share part two with you today. He dives deep into his personal experiences of dealing with anxiety and OCD. He shares insights on interpreting life’s hardships through a faith-based lens and challenges the prosperity gospel's approach to suffering. Jon emphasizes the importance of having a correct theology of suffering, relating it to his upbringing and theological journey.
