Writing as a Way of Processing Life and How to Deal with Sorrow with Tim Challies

In this episode, author and blogger Tim Challies shares with us what motivated him to begin the blog (Challies.com) that has become a very well-respected resource in the Christian community. After learning what inspired Tim to write, we hear how writing turned from a pastime to a lifeline as Tim waded through heavy grief. You will come away from this podcast encouraged by a faithful follower of Jesus who points us to the hope of heaven and the goodness of God. You will also leave having encountered sound biblical counsel on how to deal with sorrow when it disorients us and assured of the comfort which God is faithful to provide for his children in their pain.
