Guest speaker Clint Watkins continues Act 5 of our sermon series through the book of Luke out of Luke chapter 20 and the Parable of the Wicked Tenants.(July 14, 2024)
Welcome to this segment of Groundtable on Yellow Soul. In this episode my Co-host, Brit Albin, and I have Clint Watkins at the table. Clint is a husband, father, author, and full-time missionary. Clint walks us through the process of his own grief in the early stages of loss and beyond. We learn how the edges of his grief have smoothed out, and even though it's still there, through the healing, he's not wrecked by sorrow everyday. Clint got honest about being honest and invites us to not feel the need to edit what others may be experiencing in their own response to grief. Grieving, mourning, and lament, are all holy, sacred spaces we can give ourselves to and know that God will give of Himself with us in the process. God never leaves our story even when it feels like He is nowhere to be found. Clint shares he really wrote his book, Just Be Honest, because often people believe that faith is being positive, faith is about polite prayers, faith and suffering is just talking about the happy things and silver linings- they're not bad things, but they're not the only things. Actually being honest about what we're going through with God and others is a primary way of faith according to the Scriptures. God pulls us into hope and helps us endure, not by sugar-coating or ignoring things but being honest with Him, other people, and with yourself about the pain you're going through. We can bring our whole-selves to the table with God and He doesn't hold our pain against us! We learn how to navigate hard conversations and how to grieve our own losses while continuing to love and connect with others who are enduring pain too. Suffering and pain are inevitable in life and Clint shares why the Scriptures, specifically Job 42:7, are his True North regardless of where he is in his journey. Clint takes some time to encourage the hearts of men that expressing emotions and being a strong man, a warrior if you will, are not mutually exclusive. Tears aren't weakness. We learn what was most helpful for him was having people in his life that gave him the space and permission he needed to grieve in his own way. Each person has a unique grief journey and showing up for others might look like just sitting in solitude with them while they weep. Often times we can feel ill-equipped to serve the heart of another human enduring pain, but then we realize it's not about us. If we will show up, God will do what He does best- work through us as a vessel of love. We learn the rhythms he started with have changed over time, but many he still lives out today. The messy terrain of learning how he and his wife needed to grieve in their own way while also finding healthy ways to heal together. We all experience pain and grief which is why we believe every human needs to hear this conversation. Instead of stumbling through grief, we can learn the permission of lament becomes a gateway for our own healing. We believe this could be the best part of your day! Thank you for listening friend!

This week we continue our Faith Conversations for Men Series as we dive into another hard topic, "Faith Through Suffering." Men – you WILL go through suffering in life, it's all about how you deal with it. Knowing Jesus does NOT mean you won't suffer in life. We live in a broken world. What does faith look like through suffering? We tend to think we can't have seasons of suffering and doubt if we are strong enough in our faith. This concept of "having it all together" is one of the most harmful things to Christians and the church. When we put this facade up, and don't open about our suffering it causes more harm. Men are especially subject to this and it ultimately leads to isolation. What does scripture say? There's a long record in scripture of God's people being very vulnerable about the things they are struggling with. Being able to lament, mourn and confess and be real with God and one another. We see it firsthand with Jesus crying out in the garden and lamenting on the cross. We have an invitation from scripture to be real and to lament about our suffering. It will ultimately lead to healing. Three Practical tips for dealing with suffering: Confront the Pain – Be real about your pain and your grief with yourself and with God Read your Bible – Find out what Scripture has to say about suffering Talk to someone – Open up about your pain to your spouse, friend, a counselor, your small group Recommended Resource: Check out this amazing book "Just Be Honest: How to Worship Through Tears" by our good friend Clint Watkins, www.thegoodbook.com/just-be-honest You can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

On our first official episode of the new DiscipleMakers Podcast, we had a conversation with Clint Watkins about the topic of Biblical Lament. Lament is a topic that the Bible touches on a lot, but we often don’t talk about it much in the church today. So we hope you enjoy our conversation with Clint and learn something that you can apply.

EP. 42 is here!! Loss and Lament (Part 2) feat. Clint Watkins. We continue the conversation with Clint about losing their son Eli and why it's okay to lament and mourn when bad things happen. We also dive into these questions; how does the Church address lament? Is it okay to be angry at God? How do you walk alongside a friend or family member dealing with loss? Eli's story is a powerful one. We pray that Clint, Jillian and Eli's story will continue to be told and that it will help, not only their healing process, but many other individuals and families who hear it. "We sink into this reality that Jesus is going to restore everything. He will reverse the pain. But, where it kind of goes off the rail, I think, is that we think that means that we should be happy when hard things happen. That we have to go through it with smiles. Hope isn't an emotion, hope is a belief. The scriptures allow us so much permission to be sad, confused, hurt and sorrowful and not have to rush to this place of joyful praise." EP. 42 is brought to you by Friends of Angels.
