We shudder in the face of death and loss. How might we lean into the mystery of Christian faith and discover where God is moving … even when it looks like the end?

It’s utterly human to run from death and loss, whether our own death or others, the loss of a community or a tradition. That may be part of why the Christian story is so countercultural: Jesus suffered, died, rose and promised the same resurrection life for us. In a society and culture that want to banish death, how might we follow Jesus in reframing the experiences of death that are so much a part of life? With guest Rolf Jacobson, Professor of Old Testament and the Alvin Rogness Chair in Scripture, Theology and Ministry at Luther Seminary.
