Podcasts about Lament

Send me a Text Message!I'm taking a bit of a break as a reward for 100k downloads and as a pause during my vacation. But during this week+ break, I'm reposting some Psalms that I've chosen, specifically to hit some themes of our current series, "A Life of Prayer." The themes include scripture, prayer, trusting God, and thriving. One thing I love about the writers of the psalms is that they bring their real self to the game. They don't try to hide the pain or the doubt. They don't sanitize the language. They bring their real self. Psalm 5 is a prayer of lament. It's a good Psalm for times when we are scattered and trying to "consider it joy" when the hard stuff comes.

Psalm 13 opens with the heart cry of the oppressed; How Long?This is an ache you may know well, either from personal suffering or from your love of another who is suffering. This world is not as it is supposed to be.  The cry of lament is a faithful practice of taking our pain, our complaints, and our sorrows to the Lord, trusting that He will not turn away from us. If we struggle to find words, there are at least 50 Psalms we can turn to. As we do, we will find that the psalmist pours out his anguish to the Lord, but does not stay there. Often the psalms of Lament end with reminders of God's character, His faithfulness, salvation, and unfailing love. This pattern is instructive – showing us the way through our grief, not by pretending and stuffing it down, nor by sitting in it as though it is the only true thing. Rather, by pouring out our raw and honest emotions to the One who comforts as no one else can and then reminding ourselves of His love that knows no bounds—we are helped.Prepare for this week's message by reading Psalm 13.

What kind of God cries with us?In this moving sermon from John 11:28–37, we explore one of the most powerful moments in Scripture: "Jesus wept." When Mary falls at Jesus' feet in grief, Jesus doesn't offer an answer—He offers His presence. He is deeply moved, troubled, and undone by sorrow.This message reminds us that Jesus meets us in our grief, not with quick fixes but with holy tears. God is not distant from our pain. He steps into it, sits with us in the silence, and weeps beside us.Lament is not weakness — it is sacred. God's love doesn't bypass sorrow — it moves through it. Before resurrection comes stillness. And Jesus meets us there.Practice included: A guided moment of silence with Christ — a time to breathe, reflect, and be held by the God who weeps.Whether you're struggling, grieving, or simply needing to know that you're not alone, this message is for you.Join us Sundays in Ardmore, OK, Christ Community Church 2620 Mt.

Pastor John Bingham- A Psalm to Encourage- Psalm 130

Today, we decided to go against the sage advice of a good friend, and do what many would not. If you may recall we had a guest Matt Goodwin on an episode a bit ago entitled Barefeet in the Moshpit… In this episode, we discussed Matt's dabblings in Hollywood and some of the works he acted in…One of these films was released in 2006 and was titled Treasures of Painted Forest… Matt was quite adamant that we do NOT watch this film. So, of course, Rob and I did the exact opposite of the recommendation and fired it up for a special edition of Rob's Reviews.Besides reviewing the movie, we also talked about the new Alchemist & Erykah Badu project, robotheism, and the $100,000 bill. And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where we have exclusive extended episodes! Today, however, we decided to give the whole world the whole episode! BUT! If you are itching to listen, it is still available over 24 hours early.We also have some merch for sale up on our Etsy, as well as a limited run of embroidered beanies out now!

In this episode, Alex speaks with political theorist Ben Woodfinden about the meaning and complexity of Canadian conservatism. Drawing on his essay “A Tory Impulse and Anti-Laurentian Ideas Drive Canadian Conservatism”, Woodfinden explains why conservatism in Canada is not a single rigid doctrine but a pluralistic network of regionally rooted traditions — from prairie populism and Western anti-elitism to Ontario's old Toryism and Quebec's nationalist strands. They unpack Canada's unique confederation story, the idea of the Laurentian elite, and how any coherent conservatism must remain a coalition rooted in local distinctiveness and historical context.

In this episode, we welcome WNCW intern Elena Dickson to the podcast. Elena is a student at the University of Michigan, and here, she takes a turn at the helm for our episode on western North Carolina artist Sally Anne Morgan: My favorite Ralph Waldo Emerson quote reads, “Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit, cannot be severed; for the effect already blooms in the cause, the end preexists in the means, the fruit in the seed.” It makes me think of the interconnectedness that lies beneath all our actions and that everything we do–from deciding what to eat for breakfast to moving across the country–has a deep impact on our lives in areas we don't even realize. Sally Anne Morgan embodies Emerson's coda. Even as a visual artist, musician, mother, and brewery owner, she emphasized how circular life feels: we are nothing without where we came from and where we came from wouldn't have been possible without what we have become. She embodies this through her music through her traditional techniques to create innovative elements. Rooting herself in tradition while employing new age elements, she resists the conformity and neatness that recording software, and certain genres, often demands. While she views old time and other music traditions as a living artform rather than something that belongs in the archives. Her stories have a background and history but they have nothing close to an end. When I decided to apply to WNCW to enhance my senior thesis on Appalachian storytelling, I had to explain why I was doing what I was doing to a few more people than I would have liked. Next time someone asks, I will send them this podcast so they can see the fluidity of storytelling and how deeply enmeshed it is with all other aspects of our lives. Telling a story does not require a defined beginning, middle, and end. Instead, it requires a conversation and a dedication to honoring what the story was and what it is going to become. Sally Anne Morgan creates in a way that makes you want to participate in the conversation and keep the story alive.

What if the path to hope isn't found in overcoming pain, but in naming it? In this episode, Loren Richmond Jr. speaks with Dr. May Young, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies at Taylor University and author of Walking with God Through the Valley: Recovering the Purpose of Biblical Lament. Together, they explore why lament—too often overlooked in modern Christianity—is not just a personal cry, but a prophetic act of faith. Dr. Young vulnerably shares from her own experience of heartbreak and disorientation, and how discovering the biblical practice of lament became a turning point in her spiritual life. From the Psalms to the prophets, she explains how lament gives believers a faithful way to grieve, resist injustice, and grow in spiritual resilience—even when nothing changes. Topics explored: Why biblical lament is more than venting—it's rooted in God's character and promises How lament helps churches stand with the suffering and resist apathy Why modern worship often skips lament, and why that's a problem How unprocessed pain from the COVID era may still be shaping us The difference between stoic acceptance and faithful sorrow What it means to trust God when healing or justice may not come on our timeline May Young (PhD, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) is associate professor of biblical studies and chairs the Department of Biblical Studies, Christian Ministries, Intercultural Studies, and Philosophy at Taylor University. She has contributed to several volumes focused on lament, including Reading the Psalms Theologically (Lexham) and World Christianity and COVID-19: Discourses and Perspective (Routledge). She is a member of the Evangelical Theological Society and the Society of Biblical Literature and serves on the board of directors of the Institute of Biblical Research, as well as the editorial board for Sacred Roots.   Mentioned Resources:

Joe Russo explores Psalm 55 as a powerful example of a 'Psalm of Lament,' illustrating how prayers of pain can lead us through a roller coaster of emotions to a place of trust and praise in God.

Psalm 142 ESV You Are My RefugeA Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.142 With my voice I cry out to the Lord;    with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord.2 I pour out my complaint before him;    I tell my trouble before him.3 When my spirit faints within me,    you know my way!In the path where I walk    they have hidden a trap for me.4 Look to the right and see:    there is none who takes notice of me;no refuge remains to me;    no one cares for my soul.5 I cry to you, O Lord;    I say, “You are my refuge,    my portion in the land of the living.”6 Attend to my cry,    for I am brought very low!Deliver me from my persecutors,    for they are too strong for me!7 Bring me out of prison,    that I may give thanks to your name!The righteous will surround me,    for you will deal bountifully with me. For more information about Redeemer Church Lubbock visit our website at redeemerlubbock.org.

Joab Reproves David's Lament, David Restored as King

Psalm 142 - Speaker: Jotham Manoranjan - Psalm 142 invites us into one of the lowest points in David's life. Fleeing from Saul, David finds himself alone in a cave—with no friend and no refuge. This psalm belongs to the collection of laments—psalms that pour out sorrow and desperation to God in prayer. In this cave, at his lowest, David models what we are to do in our own moments of darkness: he cries out to God. Psalm 142 gives us more than a record of David's pain—it offers a way forward for us in our own loneliness, pain, and dejection. It shows us how to pray when there are no words, how to hope when all seems lost, and how to turn to God when no one else is left.

What songs evoke lament and joy for you? Gina Bastone looks at the psalmist's cry like a mixtape to the heavens, which invites us to companion our grief and imagine how God is calling us to participate in building a new world.  [Psalm 22] Reflection What is causing your lament, what is causing your praise, and how is God showing up in between? What kind of world do you want to build—with our Vox community in Austin, Texas, and in our world more broadly? How might we dwell in God's possibility and open our narrow hands to gather paradise in these difficult times? What phrases might we add to the space after the em dash?

Summer In The PsalmsSunday, June 22, 2025Chris BennettPsalm 13

Join us this summer as we dive into the Psalms. Each week, we'll explore a different Psalm to see how its timeless truths speak into our present lives. From joy and gratitude to sorrow and struggle, the Psalms remind us that God is with in every season of life. So, bring your whole heart this summer—let's learn to pray, praise, and trust like never before. Last week, we discussed a psalm of orientation. This week, we look at a psalm of disorientaton. Pastor Karla explores how we all experience situations where we are in distress and feel like God is absent. God desires that we cry out to Him with honesty in the midst of challenges.  Passage: Psalm 13 We have three worship opportunities for you to experience: 9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary Service 9:30 a.m. - Online Service 10:30 a.m. - Chapel Service  Please consider joining us for one of these services.  To view past worship services along with other digital content, go to our Youtube Channel @PointLomaChurchOnline.  To get involved in what God is doing within our community, please visit our website at www.pointlomachurch.org.

Psalm 27Rev. Matt Rice

In this deeply reflective episode, we turn to one of the rawest and most human moments in Scripture—Job 3. Through careful exegesis, Pastor Kevin walks us verse by verse through Job's anguished lament as he breaks his silence and curses the day of his birth.Why does Job—described as a righteous man—give voice to such despair? What can we learn about the nature of suffering, human vulnerability, and faith in the darkest seasons of life? We'll explore the literary structure of the chapter, its rich poetic imagery, and the theological implications of lament within a life of faith.This sermon invites listeners to wrestle honestly with sorrow and to find hope, not in easy answers, but in the God who hears us when words fail.Join us with an open Bible and an open heart as we journey through Job 3 together.

What is the lesson from God's judgment on Jerusalem and Samaria? Micah 2:1–5 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these five verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that God brought the judgment on Jerusalem and Samaria, in part, to warn us against the grief of committing similar sin ourselves.

This week, Pastor Jeremy Daniel continued our For Every Season sermon series with a message from Psalm 88, a Psalm of Lament. In one of the darkest prayers in Scripture, we learn to turn to God, cry out our complaints, ask boldly, and ultimately choose to trust Him. Lament is the act of clinging to a God Whose light has overcome, is overcoming, and will overcome the darkness.

In George Grant's famous 1965 essay, Lament for a Nation, the Red Tory philosopher argued that Canadian nationalism had died. He believed that when Canada was tied to the UK, the country was committed to a collective common good. But when it became integrated with the U.S., Grant says Canada abandoned this idea. Sixty years later, our relationship with the U.S. is being tested, igniting a rise in nationalism. PhD student Bryan Heystree finds hope in Grant's work and says there's valuable criticism worthy of our attention in the 21st century.
