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.

Friendship

Proximity Warning

Four big ideas are shaping Catalyst. First: Friendship. What did it mean that Jesus was called a 'friend of sinners'? What implications does that have for our relationships (or lack thereof)?

From Series: "Proximity Warning"

Catalyst looks to four big ideas to shape our next steps as a church: Friendship, Diversity, Discipleship and Pilgrimage. What they all have in common: proximity. Faith isn't real until it's up close and personal.
