Why We Hurt

with 2 comments

This weekend, I’ll be in Kenosha, WI. I’m leading a retreat held by Lamb of God Lutheran Church and Messiah Lutheran Church with the title: Why We Hurt. A retreat on Suffering. If you happen to be in the area, please come on by.

I’ve taught on this topic any number of times. It’s an inevitable motif for anyone who is a pastor. This week, in preparation, I’ve decided to re-read three books: When Bad Things Happen to Good People Why We Hurt by Harold Kushner, Man’s Search For Meaning Why We Hurt by Victor Frankl, and The Problem of Pain Why We Hurt by Clive Staples Lewis.

Over the next several days, I will make comments on my reading.

  1. Hi Pastor Stiegemeyer,

    My undergrad was at Carthage College, in Kenosha. It’s an interesting city with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. If you have a chance, check out the Boathouse restaurant on the lake. Really good food and drinks–plus that’s where Jonathan and I were engaged. :)

    Enjoy your stay!

  2. It is not only an interesting city with great food, drinks and a wonderful view – but it is the home of TENUTAS. If you have not been there you have not lived!
