This chapter explores the concept of lamentation and its connection to faith, emphasizing the importance of groaning and yearning with Jesus while acknowledging the hope that has not yet been fulfilled. The speakers also discuss the need for lamentation to understand and empathize with those in despair, and the application of the Reformation's riches to the modern church.
In some ways, trauma has become a buzzword, both culturally and within the church. Even in places that are supposed to be the most safe, traumatic experiences seem rampant. So, how do we deal with it all? Where does God’s will come into play and how can we have hope during some of the darkest times of our lives? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland wrestle with the issues we’re facing when it comes to addressing trauma and how the church can help others see the hope of God—even in the dark.
