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.

Diversity
Diversity is essential to God's work in the world, but as a rule, churches are bad at real diversity. In John 4, Jesus' disciples illustrate what's at stake when we don't make a point to practice diversity.
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.
