pickles and prayer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s a new way to think about therapy, Christian counseling, and the breakthroughs that can come out of prayer…It is like that jar of pickles that we can’t get open. We run it under hot water. We tap it with the edge of a knife. We use one of those rubber grippy-things, and we just about wreck our hands trying to get that jar open.
