Talking to people about Jesus is nerve-wracking. In this Epiphany series, we’re going to explore how Jesus met people where they were – and what was so good about the news he shared. Ultimately, we’ll see that sharing Jesus with people is easier than we ever imagined. All it takes is a lot of love.

Sitting with Grief
Grief is uncomfortable. In the face of tragedy, no words are sufficient to salve our pain. Yet in the face of others’ pain, we find ourselves offering platitudes and speaking for God so we can avoid their pain. But Lamentations 1 is a funeral dirge. We hear the woman’s honest, unflinching cries of pain and see the prophet join her, offering nothing but his presence. How can we learn to be honest about pain so we can begin the process of reorientation?
