Show Notes

Christmas often comes as a time of light and joy, but it is often highlighted against a backdrop of sorrow. Justin and Stephen explore how lament, agreeing with God that things are not as they should be, can allow us to see more clearly what the arrival of Jesus as Messiah means historically, today, and as we look forward.  They consider the question of faith in the midst of difficulty and how crying out to God, either about one's own difficulties or as an advocate for others, can be an expression of hope and trust.

Our special Advent episode features music from BiFrost Arts' album Lamentations: Simple Songs of Lament and Hope, Vol 1, as Justin and Stephen consider the connection between Lament, Hope, and Advent.  

Featured songs include:

BiFrost Arts music used by permission. This episode also includes licensed music from SyncHits, OdinMann, and Audiophile Trax. Psalm 6 was presented from the NIV, Lamentations 3 was presented from the NLT.
