Wednesday Evening Discipleship: Lament | Jamie Mulvaney | 20th May 2020 - a podcast by Holy Trinity Clapham

Amidst the battles of this season, and with it being Mental Health Awareness Week, Jamie looks at what we can learn from the biblical experience of lament. We worship the Man of Sorrows, who meets us in our pain and we meet him in his. So rather than suppressing pain, instead we offer it to God. The Man of Sorrows is also the resurrected Jesus, and with him the worst thing is never the final thing. We as the church can be a place of solidarity and transformation as we find the blessing in the middle of the battle.
