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.

Don't Drink the Kool-Aid
Often religion seems to be about conformity, about everyone thinking and acting the same. But in John’s vision of the End, we see God’s plan is to rescue and restore people from every culture and nation in human history. We’ll be together, but the myriad ways we follow God’s call will be preserved and celebrated. How can we begin embracing the diversity of God’s kingdom in the here and now?
