Sacred Suffering: A Conversation with Bryant Thompson

In this episode of Dialogue Out Loud, Personal Voices editor Charlotte Hansen Terry speaks with Bryant Skeen Thompson, author of the deeply moving essay “No Hard Feelings,” from the Summer 2025 issue of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought. Thompson shares the story of his brother’s struggle with ALS and the lessons it offered about grief, gratitude, and divine love. Together, they explore how faith can coexist with suffering—and how moments of despair can become encounters with the sacred.
