Today, we respond to a listener who asked the important question of what to do and say when someone has just experienced trauma, tragedy, or some other massive thing (TMT).
My Advice When Speaking to Others after TMT: 1. Show up and shut up (I stole this from Jon Swanson) 2. Tears over talking 3. Empathy over equivalence 4. Theology is like salt: it needs to be correctly applied in tiny amounts, and of high quality, or it can hurt more than it helps.
