For everything there is a season-sadness included. The Bible is honest about the heartbreaking realities of life lived under the sun, yet sometimes sadness is viewed by Christians as an unfaithful feeling. How might we better understand the role of sadness in sanctification? And how can we learn to respond to this uncomfortable emotion in productive ways? In this session, Christine explores the wisdom of Ecclesiastes as it relates to experiencing sadness and offers practical insights for engaging the emotion in everyday life.
