Lament in Real-Time - 15:28
The framework of lament.

Quotables
“Lament done well is naming the brokenness in the world. And so in that act of prayer, it isn’t a passive withdrawal. But it actually gives us a footing to say “no, this is calling out what’s wrong and calling something broken that is broken”.
Every great movement that we know of started with this… Holy discontent where you see what God intended and you see what is, and there’s something that wells up in our soul that says “This is not right and this will not stand”.
It’s an act of realism to say “The world’s broken, but God we trust you”.
