Bringing Your Laments Into the Light w/Tanner Olson of Written to Speak, Type 3

When heartbreak happens, you're not alone. Yet often our first human instincts involve shutting down fast and then isolating ourselves, spilling grief into unhealthy corners such as overworking, overly seeking commendation, or just disconnecting from God and others in our lament. Today we talk with author and poet Tanner Olson, Type 3 (3-5 pairing), @Written to Speak, about instead bringing these laments into the light. Tanner takes us on a deep dive into his experience of finding the light of Christ even in the darkness of life's unexpected twists and turns, including unexplained infertility. Whatever your experience of uncertainty in the midst of waiting or grief, don't miss this episode that also includes a conversation about Tanner's marriage and pairing, encouraging tips for you, and even a live reading of one of his poems from his acclaimed book, "Walk a Little Slower," as you too find your most authentic ways to share and bring light to the darkness.
