Welcome to Monday! Today’s host is Kerby Anderson and he welcomes two new guests!
In the first hour, Kerby talks with author, speaker, blogger, podcaster, and former coffee shop owner Aimee Byrd about her book, The Hope in Our Scars. It’s about those injured in the church. Then in the second hour, his guest is Dr. Mark Dance. Mark joins Kerby in the studio to talk about mental health and the church.
It’s an exceptional show. Please don’t miss it.
Join us by calling, 800-351-1212 or you can post a comment or question on Facebook at facebook.com/pointofviewradio.
Having tread her own path of disillusionment, Aimee Byrd invites us to see Christ among the chaos so apparent in his church. Along the way, Aimee guides us through deeply theological and personal reflections on how we can:
+ Cultivate healthier forms of trust by recognizing power structures at work.
+ Understand the limits of authority, and free ourselves from tribes and celebrity culture.
+ Take appropriate social risks by speaking up when we're uncomfortable.
+ Rediscover how our stories matter to God.
This book is written to those who have been wounded by the church. To those who have suffered abuse at the hands of church leaders and are left with deep scars. To those who are disillusioned or deconstructing their faith, The Hope in Our Scars offers a way forward with a God who walks with us in our affliction and wants to make it into something beautiful.
