If we cannot trust God to keep bad things from happening to us or to those we love, how do we trust God at all? Author and Anglican priest Tish Harrison Warren wrestles with this question in her new book and in this conversation with Nathan Foster.
Tish’s book Prayer in the Night was selected for the 2020 – 21 Renovaré Book Club.
