There is a kind of religion that wants everything tied up neatly. Suffering has an explanation. Faith has an answer. God has a plan.
Life has never looked that neat to me.
Richard Bruxvoort Colligan’s Dangerous Songs reminded me that the Psalms don’t look that way either.
They are angry. Grateful. Frightened. Joyful. Despairing. Sometimes they end in hope. Sometimes they don’t.
Richard and I talk about depression, loss, music, faith, and why these 3,000-year-old songs can still make us feel less alone.
