Kurt Lammi serves as pastor at St Paul Lutheran Church on Dog Leg Road in Dayton, OH.
The Despair of the Called
March 2015: Dark Night of the Soul (Volume 15 Issue 3)
When a layperson feels the absence of God in their life, they go to their pastor for guidance. However, what should a pastor do when they have the same experience? Lammi lifts up the examples of Mother Theresa, Martin Luther, and Augustine to demonstrate that this experience has happened to many faith leaders throughout history. Their experiences of living with and through doubt, as well as faith, provide a model for us all.
