Chapter 3: Anger

"It’s certainly not linear. Grief is not like that. Grief is all over the map, that’s part of the difficulty of it. You can feel like you’ve gotten through a lot of it, and then feel like you’re back at the beginning again." - Diane Langberg, author of Suffering and the Heart of God Living and Effective is a collaboration between CT Creative Studio and The Christian Standard Bible. Music by: Yons, Sweeps, and The Gray Havens. Season 2 theme song by Yons. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"Death is something we did not ever talk about growing up. If you did, you were rebuked. I can't speak for every prosperity preacher. I'll just talk to you about the Hinn empire. There is no topic more scary than death. More than sickness, death. In our home, if we brought up death, we were told do not speak about death, lest you invite the spirit of death into our home." - Costi Hinn, author of God, Greed, and the Prosperity Gospel Living and Effective is a collaboration between CT Creative Studio and The Christian Standard Bible.

"There's no distance in prayer. I'm going to send this powerful healing virtue transfer. I believe it's going to be transferred into your life. Here it comes. Touch my hands. Come a little closer and agree with me. Father in heaven, you see everyone who's watching who has pain. That man with prostate cancer, the woman with pain in her feet. My God, let your healing anointing and power throw out over the airwaves right now in their lives." - Televangelist, Peter Popoff Living and Effective is a collaboration between CT Creative Studio and The Christian Standard Bible.

"That terrible, empty place has the seeds of life in it. Because you can't really have life after a death until it's based on the truth that the death occurred. Otherwise, you're pretending.  The darkest place actually has hope in it. It is a hope not felt, but it is inherent in it." - Diane Langberg, author of Suffering and the Heart of God Living and Effective is a collaboration between CT Creative Studio and The Christian Standard Bible.
