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.

If You Want to Go, You Have to Leave

Becoming the people God calls us to be is a journey of discovery. A journey requires that we change, which can be scary, painful and difficult. The prophet Malachi offers words of hope: that even though the change is difficult, God is with us, shaping us into the people who will be ready to live in the future God is preparing us for.
