For the next 14 days, we will be reading the Bible with Dr Katherine Thompson, whose devotions are drawn from her book The Discipline of Suffering. In her writing, Dr Thompson explores how our understanding of suffering, which takes the form of stories, can be informed by our culture, our own personal narrative, and the individual thought patterns that we adopt. When these stories and thoughts become harmful, we can partner with the Holy Spirit using practical strategies to change them and redeem our brokenness to find healing.
