How does taking risks help us overcome life’s sorrows? Rev. Dr. Reed Lessing, author of Overcoming Life’s Sorrows: Learning from Jeremiah, joins Andy and Sarah for Part 7 of our series on Overcoming Life’s Sorrows to talk about overcoming through taking risks, including God’s message to Jeremiah and exiles in Babylon, what this message means for followers of Jesus today, why God cares if we disconnect from society and relationships with others, the kinds of risks God gave Jeremiah to engage, and what this means for us today.

Rev. Dr. Reed Lessing is Professor of Theology & Ministry, Director of the Pre-Seminary Program, and Director of The Center for Biblical Studies at Concordia University St. Paul, and author of Overcoming Life’s Sorrows: Learning from Jeremiah available from Concordia Publishing House.
