What do you do when life doesn’t go the way you faithfully prayed it would?
Join us for an honest and hope-filled Online Training as we explore the role of lament in the Christian life. Through a deeply personal story of unexpected suffering and long-term caregiving, we’ll challenge common misconceptions about faith—that obedience guarantees ease, that suffering always has a quick resolution, or that past hardship exempts us from future pain.
Together, we’ll learn how Scripture gives us language for our grief, permission to be honest with God, and the courage to bring our real emotions before Him. Lament isn’t a lack of faith—it’s an expression of it.
If you’ve ever wrestled with disappointment, unanswered prayers, or silent grief, this conversation is for you.
