Hope and suffering seem to lay at opposite poles of human experience. We hope to avoid or escape suffering, both for ourselves and for those we love. But what if hope — rather than being mere optimism or a pleasant disposition – is a virtue that grows and develops in suffering?

Curt Thompson, Trinity Forum Senior Fellow and author of The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope, joined us for an Online Conversation, on Friday, September 29 to explore how suffering, especially when processed in the context of community, can lead to deep hope.
