Listen "Room for Lament"
Episode Synopsis
Today’s episode is about finding room for lament and constructive anger through the lens of the ancient book of Lamentations, a part of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. It's the third installment in our series on the so-called “Forgotten Books of the Bible.” The context of this poetic, five-chapter book is the aftermath of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by the Babylonian army after 586 BCE.We'll notice the five different voices in Lamentations, each given space to grieve in the way they need to. Lamentations reminds us that we can give each other the space to speak, the space to breathe, the space to protest, without losing our common voice and without forsaking our common humanity.Feedback? I'd love to hear from you at [email protected]. Thanks for listening, friends. You are loved and never alone!
