There is much to lament if one looks around; there are also many reasons for hope. How are our laments and our hopes intertwined? Are both necessary? How does trust in God influence how we cry out, dream, despair, or get to work? Jonathan and Seth discuss these questions based on the only joyous section of Lamentations. And while this episode touches briefly on the Gospel reading (Mark 5:21-43), the interplay of despair and hope continues there too.

We're glad you're with us wherever you are on the continuum of deep despair and radical contentment. And we hope this episode resonates with you. If you're enjoying our podcast, a review helps others find us.
