The common sympathetic phrase "Our thoughts and prayers are with you" was in the national news following the mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic Church school resulting in the death of two children and the injury of many more. The phrase oddly emerged not as condolence but rejected by national political and media figures who basically said prayers were not enough. Like so much else in American culture, this tragic event and the aftermath were politicized along ideological grounds. This podcast explores the use of this phrase and considers scriptural models of condolences. While this podcast is posted after the Charlie Kirk assassination, the content was written and recorded before this tragic event.
