Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and bestselling author Dr. Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

In this episode, we'll listen to another one of Paul's old radio broadcasts.

Do you ever feel lonely? Have you ever felt like you've been dealt and injustice?
