We avoid pain and grief as much as possible. When faced with someone else’s grief, we avoid or offer platitudes. But the book of Lamentations invites us to sit with grief, to enter into the prophetic process of Lament. In this series, we’ll explore how to grieve and how to be a friend to the grieving.
Ultimately, we’ll see how the process of lament invites us to be agents of healing in the larger world.

Privilege
Mention the word Privilege and watch everyone get uncomfortable. But Privilege is an opportunity to talk about opportunity. And to see that God is a God who leverages Privilege for the good of those who have less position. How can the Church talk about Privilege and leverage our privilege for the good of those on the margins?
From Series: "System Failure"
We often treat sin as personal moral failings but Sin has an institutional component too. What institutions in our culture form us to be sinful? And how can the Church act as a counter-institution that forms us to be holy?
