Something is wrong, and a lot of us are carrying it alone. Whether it's personal loss, political exhaustion, or the weight of watching your community get hurt — grief has a way of isolating us exactly when we need each other most.

In this sermon, Toochi Ngwangwa draws on the book of Jeremiah to make a case for grief as something meant to be shared out loud. From Jewish Shiva to New Orleans jazz funerals to Jesus walking toward the cross, the throughline is the same: mourning together is what softens us, connects us, and makes space for something new.

If you've been running from something heavy lately — this one's for you.
