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.

Pain at Peniel
We all have "things" in our lives - habits or personality quirks - we know aren't good. But we excuse them as "just the way I am". In this story of the greatest wrestling match of all time, we see that God will not allow us to stay as we are. God will transform us - even if it hurts!
From Series: "Road Trip"
This Summer, we take a road trip through the Old Testament. Along the way, we stop in with some of the more famous encounters and observe how their brief encounters changed their lives.
