## Resource

Ever had someone hurt your feelings, only to realize later it might've been the most loving thing they could've done? Kirk unpacks the difference between wounds that destroy and wounds that save, drawing from Paul's letter to the Corinthians on why God sometimes uses hard truths and hard people to save us from ourselves. Plus, a mailbag full of real questions on kids and phones, giving to the homeless, and whether America is still a Christian nation.
