The Courage to Heal: Lore Ferguson Wilbert on Friendship's Transformative Power
Friendship requires courage, to allow God to reform our trust and sense of safety through risking love with real people who can hurt us…and who can help us experience healing in ways we cannot find outside each other.
What if friendship could be the key to healing deep wounds? In this episode of 'This Too Shall Last', host K.J. Ramsey sits down with writer and author Lore Ferguson Wilbert to discuss the unexpected ways their friendship has fostered trust and healing. They dive into the nitty-gritty of their bond, forged through shared experiences of suffering, and how they're both learning to trust through deep listening and vulnerability.
Lore, known for her book 'Handle with Care: How Jesus Redeems the Power of Touch in Life and Ministry', shares her insights on how real friendships can help us experience healing that we can't find alone. The conversation touches on the role of suffering in shaping our spirituality, the importance of acknowledging our desires amidst pain, and the courage it takes to risk love with people who might hurt us but can also help us heal.
This episode is perfect for anyone looking to understand the transformative power of true friendship and how it can bring grace into our lives, even in the midst of suffering.
