About this episode

In this sermon, Justin Chapman explores the themes of weakness and God's goodness as presented in Psalm 41, emphasizing the importance of honest prayer and the journey from lament to victory.

Weakness is hard to admit — especially when the world around you runs on credentials and performance. But Psalm 41 doesn't let us hide. It invites us into honest, even ugly prayer, and walks us from lament all the way to victory. In this week's sermon, we dig into what it means to lay hold of God's goodness when you're at your weakest — whether that's poverty, sickness, betrayal, or being quietly pushed to the margins. God's goodness isn't for people who have it together. It's for the weak. And it leads somewhere real.
