Beating Burnout: Lifting Up Lament

Series:
Passage: Psalm 143:1-8
Service Type:

Bottling up your emotions could lead to burnout.

Yet, sometimes we hear we should only express happy thoughts.
In some Christian circles there are false beliefs that say 'if you're a true believer, you should always be happy,' or that 'feeling sad means you're not really trusting God.'

So, this Sunday we're going to dive into how lifting up our lament – basically, openly expressing our sorrows – is important for our emotional, spiritual, and community well-being.

Lament is scriptural. It brings our burnout in conversations to God.
