His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. — Lamentations 3:22-23 Have you ever lost sleep because your mind and heart were busy or burdened? You can lie down and try to fall asleep, but sleep won't come.Jeremiah surely knew what that was like. He often poured out his heart and soul to God and to his people, but most of the people ignored what he had to say as God's prophet. At times he was even put in prison for speaking God's Word.Jeremiah lamented over the people who denied God and persecuted him. The book of Lamentations is a brief collection of some of those laments. They are a companion piece to the narrative provided in the book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah had done all he could to bring God's Word to his people, but it was not enough. Even so, one of the great hymns of faith—“Great Is Thy Faithfulness”—arises from the passage we have read for today.I have often wondered how a great song about faithfulness could be born out of lament. Yet this is a key insight for us to ponder. When times are good, we tend to forget about God and rely on ourselves. But when times are hard and we cry out to God in our struggles, we can often see God and his work more clearly. God's love, compassion, and faithfulness stand out against the darkness of sin and destruction.God is with us always, and he promises new beginnings and new life each day to all who seek him. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is a song we can sing every day! God of all days and nights, thank you for your faithfulness to us each day and throughout every season. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Today's Promise: Lamentations 3:23 In today's episode of The Daily Promise, we reflect on Lamentations 3:23. This is one of the most beloved assurances of God's faithfulness in scripture. Born out of sorrow and struggle, Jeremiah's words remind us that even in life's darkest seasons, God's love never runs dry. His mercies are not only sufficient, but they are renewed every single morning.   If you've ever felt discouraged by failure, weighed down by sin, or weary in your walk with God, this episode offers hope. You'll be reminded that you can never exhaust God's lovingkindness or out-sin His grace. Each new day is a fresh start, a new expression of His compassion and commitment to you.   Drawing inspiration from the timeless hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness," we celebrate a God who remains steady when we are not. No matter your past or present, His faithfulness endures. He is unchanging, unfailing, and always enough.

Send a textA tenth‑century monk from the shores of Lake Van might be the mentor your spiritual life has been missing. We open the doors of Narek Monastery and step into the luminous world of Saint Gregory of Narek—poet, mystic, and Doctor of the Church—whose fierce honesty about sin and blazing love for Christ forged a path from lament to hope. His ninety‑five “conversations with God,” known as the Book of Lamentations, reveal how confession can heal, how adoration can inflame desire for holiness, and how the Eucharist becomes both medicine and banquet for tired souls.We share Gregory's story from his early formation under Abbot Anania to the quiet miracle of global recognition in 2015, when Pope Francis named him a Doctor. Along the way, we unpack the core themes that make his witness timeless: suffering that does not collapse into despair, mercy encountered as a living presence in Jesus Christ, and hope that rises from the wounds of the Savior. You'll hear how his Marian devotion—calling Our Lady Mother of Light and refuge of sinners—deepens his Eucharistic gaze, and why his image of the Church as a healing hospital speaks powerfully to anyone who has ever felt unworthy to pray.For listeners hungry for practical steps, we offer ways to weave Gregory's lines into the Liturgy of the Hours, moments of silence before Communion, and personal prayer. We also trace resonances with Western Carmelite spirituality, showing how Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross share Gregory's summons to interior surrender and bold intimacy with God. Whether you're planning a pilgrimage to historic Narekavank or seeking renewal at a local chapel, this journey maps a clear route: humility, honest lament, Eucharistic trust, and a steady walk toward the Sacred Heart.If this conversation stirs your hunger for deeper communion, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help others find their way to Gregory's healing wisdom.Saint Gregory of Narek's writingsOpen by Steve Bailey Support the showView all of our blog posts here https://journeysoffaith.com/blogs/eucharist-mary-saints Download Journeys of Faith App for Iphone or Android FREE https://journeysoffaith.com/pages/download-our-app Journeys of Faith brings your Super Saints Podcasts Please consider subscribing to this podcast or making a donation to Journeys of Faith we are actively increasing our reach and we are seeing good results for visitors under 40!

Tim and Mary take a look at the news cycle once again, and while it generally resembles all the news cycles, one thing we can count on is that in Jesus, His mercies are new every morning; this can never be true in the world. He is the faithful one, and no matter how tiresome this world becomes, the one thing God says we need is His mercy, not more dark news about man’s inhumanity to man. So we start there, and then try and make sense of this divisive, judgment ready world. Today we look at the continued blame for everything on white men who love Jesus;  Mike Huckabee’s attempt to reason with Tucker; and the world marching to the beat of Antichrist, especially in Europe where the spirit of the AC has preceded him. As interesting as it all is, and helpful to watch the times, Lamentations 3:22-26 says it all:  “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I hope in Him! The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” (NKJV)

Lamentations names the pain and looks it in the face. When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long (Psalm 32:3) What is hidden cannot be healed. How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? (Psalm 13:1) Lamentations invites us to name our pain before God. Truthfulness is not the absence of faith.

In today's sermon from Lamentations 3:22–24, Pastor Mark reminds us of the unchanging and unfailing faithfulness of God. In the midst of suffering, uncertainty, and hardship, Scripture declares that God's mercies are new every morning and His steadfast love never fails.This message points us to the truth that God's faithfulness is not seasonal, situational, or dependent on our circumstances—it continues always. Pastor Mark connects this powerful promise to the ultimate display of God's love and faithfulness: the death of Jesus on the cross and His victorious resurrection.Through Christ, we are reminded that God keeps His promises, remains near to His people, and offers hope that cannot be shaken. If you are walking through a difficult season or simply need encouragement, this sermon will strengthen your faith and renew your trust in the God who is faithful forever.

Pastor Morné Marais teaches that doubt is a normal part of the faith journey—not the opposite of faith—and shows from Scripture that even the disciples worshiped Jesus and yet some doubted (Matthew 28:17). He uses Thomas in John 20 to explain that Jesus doesn't shame honest questions; he meets people where they are and calls them to believe. He also reads from Lamentations 3 to show that deep pain and hard questions can still lead to real hope in God's faithfulness.Kristin Hileman focuses on why people doubt (suffering, unanswered prayers, education/science, personality, broken trust, hypocrisy) and reminds the group that doubt has always existed. She contrasts Peter (whose doubt draws him closer to Jesus) with Judas (whose doubt pulls him away) to show doubt can either deepen faith or erode it. Practically, she urges believers to let doubt become growth, live with some mystery, keep the gospel central, examine sin/idolatry, and when helping others: lean in with presence, point to Scripture's laments when helpful, invite them into community, and pray “Lord, I believe—help my unbelief.”Support the show

In this episode of the Westminster Podcast, Nate Shannon is joined again by Jeremy Manacuchi for a searching exploration of the Book of Lamentations, one of Scripture's most haunting and least-studied books. Beginning with the stark poetry of Jerusalem's fall, they situate Lamentations within its historical context: the Babylonian siege, exile, and the covenantal judgment foretold in Deuteronomy. The discussion traces why the book is so emotionally and theologically difficult: its graphic imagery, its honest depiction of divine wrath, and its profound sense of abandonment, while also arguing for its enduring pastoral value. Far from being marginal, Lamentations confronts suffering head-on as the just response to sin, spoken from within the lived experience of God's people. At the heart of the conversation is Lamentations 3, the structural and theological center of the book. Jeremy presents a compelling Christological reading in which “the man who has seen affliction” bears the full weight of God's wrath, descends into the pit, and yet emerges with renewed hope grounded in the steadfast love of the Lord. Read as a carefully crafted whole, Lamentations moves from darkness to a single, blazing moment of hope, one that ultimately points beyond Jerusalem's ruin to Christ himself. In that light, Lamentations is not merely a book of grief, but a profound witness to God's covenant faithfulness, offering hope to sinners and sufferers alike through the one who was forsaken so that God might once again say to his people, “Do not fear.”

Your Church Should Be Older Than Your Mom | Orthodoxy Preserves While Protestants Still Cannot Agree.A restless teenager collides with the Jesus People and catches fire for Christ—but the fire has no hearth. Years later, after Anglican ordination and years of pastoral ministry on the Canadian prairie, Fr. Lawrence Farley (https://nootherfoundation.ca/) names the ache many believers feel today: Scripture untethered from apostolic Tradition slowly dissolves into preferences, platforms, and personality-driven faith. What followed was costly and clarifying—laying down his orders, entering the Orthodox Church, moving a young family with almost nothing, and helping plant a mission that had to fight for every soul. Along the way he discovered the priest's true work is fatherhood: gathering a family at the altar, preaching Christ, serving the sacraments, and learning to wash feet when it hurts.Together we take up the questions filling comment sections and pews alike. Why did streams of Protestantism drift toward liberalization? How did separating the Bible from the Church that preserved it fracture Christian unity? What does it mean to “live on Catholic capital,” and why do new conservative movements keep splintering from older ones? Fr. Lawrence traces a line from Reformation fault lines to the Jesus People's wide tent, showing how experience without shared confession leaves believers unmoored. Against that churn, he explains why Orthodoxy's ancient worship, coherent doctrine, and living tradition are quietly drawing young men, families, and weary pilgrims across the West.But this isn't nostalgia or culture-war comfort. “Come because we're anti-woke, stay because of Jesus,” he insists. Canons and rules matter only if they serve repentance and the healing of the heart; otherwise we trade chaos for a new Phariseeism. Fr. Lawrence offers bracing counsel on vocation—if you can be happy doing anything else, do it—and describes pastoral life as a slow crucifixion that somehow becomes a wellspring of joy. He points listeners to accessible resources for evangelicals exploring Orthodoxy, deep dives into the Psalms, a forthcoming book on suffering through Lamentations, and his weekly blog, No Other Foundation.If you're searching for a faith that's older than trends and sturdy enough for modern storms, this conversation offers clarity, challenge, and hope.

This Thinking Talmudist podcast episode by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe (TORCH, Houston) explores the deeply tragic narratives in Gittin 58a, focusing on the suffering of Jewish children during the destructions of the First and Second Temples under Babylonian and Roman oppression. These stories, drawn from the Talmud and linked to verses in Lamentations, Deuteronomy, and Psalms, depict horrific acts: Babylonian killings leaving vast amounts of children's brains on stones (with divine retribution promised), Roman aristocrats abusing beautiful Jewish boys for immoral purposes (tying them to beds instead of using images on rings), and mass burnings in Betar where children were wrapped in Torah scrolls and set ablaze. Rabbi Wolbe stresses that these accounts are not for blame but for spiritual growth—learning lessons from history, avoiding assimilation, and embracing the Torah as life's "owner's manual" to maximize connection with God.He highlights redemptive moments amid the pain, such as Rabbi Yehoshua ben Hanania redeeming a brilliant, beautiful captive boy who becomes a great sage, and the heartbreaking sibling tragedy of Rabbi Yishmael's children (nearly forced into incestuous marriage before recognition and death). The episode ties these to modern reflections: Holocaust survivor family experiences, recent hostage resilience (direct prayer to Hashem without intermediaries), and the Jewish mission to bring God-consciousness to the world despite persecution.Ultimately, Rabbi Wolbe inspires listeners to respond to suffering with increased Torah observance, mitzvot (even small ones sparking chains of good), and joyful Shabbat preparation—welcoming the "Shabbos Queen" as Israel's eternal partner. Rather than finger-pointing, the focus is personal teshuva, identity pride (e.g., visible payot), and trusting Hashem shares our pain._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by David & Susan MarbinRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 30, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 6, 2026_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinking-talmudist-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1648951154Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cZ7q9bGYSBYSPQfJvwgzmShare your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content._____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

Hey CBJ Family, Have you ever found that you've done everything right- prayed, waited, believed...and life still felt unfair? On today's epsiode part 2 in the series, Kelley and Taylor are speaking directly to those who love God deeply but feel quielty disappointed, frustrated, or confused when life feels unfair. If life feels unfair right now, it doesn't mean your faith si weak, it might mean you are human! Our family understands this personally. Kelley's mom battled Rhuematoid Arthritis. Kelley's dad faced a rare blood cancer diagnosis. Kelley has walked through breast cancer. Taylor has walked through dark times searching for her biological father.   This episode is not theory, it's lived faith. If you've ever asked why suffering touches families, how to trust God during illness, or whether faith and grief can coexist, this conversation will meet you gently, honeslty, and biblically. Scriptures we ancho to include: Psalm 13:1-2, Habakkuk 1:2-3, Psalm 62:8, and Lamentations 3:31-33. You'll learn why unfaitness doesn't just hurt-it confuses, and why biblical faith doesn't deny disappointment, it brings it to God honeslty. If you're faithful and frustrated, you're not weak, you're growing.  We pray that this epsiode blesses you and please hit the subscribe button on YouTube and follow us here on audio so you don't miss next week, part 3 in this series.  FOLLOW THE SHOW ON INSTAGRAM @chosenbyJesuscbj Follow Kelley on Linkedin Next SHE RISES 8 week mentorship for women starts 3/9> JOIN US NOW!
