About this episode

This episode explores the theme of lament through Psalm 88, emphasizing that expressing sorrow is a part of faith.

Not every song in Scripture resolves on a happy chord. In this message from our Summer Playlist series, we open Psalm 88 — the rawest, darkest psalm in the Bible — and learn that lament isn't the opposite of faith, it's an expression of it. Our God isn't afraid of your questions, your tears, or your 2am prayers. He already knows what it means to sit in the dark, and He's promised not to leave us there.
