But, before we can truly experience hope, praise and gratitude, we have to learn how to grieve and lament. This week we discuss what defines Christian lament, the difference between lament and complaining, and what we are each lamenting right now. We pray that while it's an intense topic, we will all learn the prayer language of lament so we can more deeply experience gratitude. From us to you, Happy Thanksgiving!

As we said last week, these episodes were recorded before social distancing became a thing, and we recognize that we're all in need of grace right now as we navigate our new realities. We are all numbing out in various ways, and that is OKAY. But, we also think this discussion is still relevant in many ways as we grapple with this new way of life. We hope it still...

We recorded these episodes before Covid-19 really took root in the US, and we know most of us have probably suspended our Lenten fasts during this time, but we also believe that in times like these, we truly learn the idols our hearts are attached to and how we need God even more as they are revealed. This week we address the idols of career, success and accomplishments. We hope you still enjoy and get something out of our discussion. We love you all and are praying for you.

We know those aren't the only idols we struggle with as a culture, but we know they can be some of the biggies. We also know these can be subtle idols. On the surface, none of them are bad or sinful, but when they take the place of God as our object of worship or control, that's when they can cross into unhealthy territory. Thankfully, God's grace is abundant as we struggle to put these idols in their proper place. -------------------------------------------------------------
