About this episode

This episode explores Psalm 88, a Psalm of sorrow and grief, emphasizing the importance of honesty in faith during difficult seasons.

Psalm 88 is one of the most honest and difficult Psalms in Scripture. It is a song of sorrow, grief, confusion, and deep pain. Unlike many Psalms, it does not end with a clear resolution — reminding us that sometimes life’s hardest seasons do not have quick answers. In this message, we explore how God welcomes our honesty and invites us to bring even our deepest struggles before Him. Faith is not about pretending everything is okay; sometimes faith looks like continuing to cry out to God in the middle of darkness. No matter what season you are walking through, God is not afraid of your questions, your pain, or your tears. Part of our series: A Song for Every Season 🌿
