About this episode

This episode explores how God welcomes our lament and meets us in our sorrow, using Psalm 137 to discuss grief, anger, and the hope of redemption.

"What do we do with grief that refuses to go away? In Psalm 137, we meet God’s people in exile—far from home, carrying deep wounds, and struggling to sing songs of worship in a foreign land. This honest and often unsettling psalm gives voice to the pain of loss, injustice, and longing for restoration. In this message, we explore how God welcomes our lament, meets us in our sorrow, and reminds us that faith is not the absence of struggle but the willingness to bring our whole hearts before Him. Psalm 137 points us beyond the brokenness of exile and toward the hope of redemption. As we wrestle with questions of suffering, anger, and justice, we discover that God’s story is bigger than our circumstances. Through Jesus, we find the promise that grief will not have the final word and that God is at work redeeming and renewing lives even in the hardest seasons. Whether you're walking through disappointment, waiting for healing, or searching for hope, this message invites you to trust in the God who hears, remembers, and restores."
