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.

You Can't Stop Crooked
We think of judgment as something God does to us. But Amos shows us that judgment is the result of our own malformed character.
From Series: "The Lion Roars"
Amos pictures God as a lion, roaring God's judgment from Mt. Zion. We don't like to think of God as a judge. But the biblical picture of God as judge is founded in God's love as our Father in Heaven. We can hear God's judgment as words as a firm love calling us to be whole.
