This is Life and the Living of It

Sometimes High School is a fairy tale, and other times a horror story. My story is somewhat in-between. In this episode of "Life and the Living of It," I talk about High School, which included a ruptured disc, destroyer bone, and drama class.

In part three, I discuss grief and lamentations with respect to the Book of Job and the man of constant sorrow, Job himself.

This is part two of the series of three podcasts I did for seminary back in 2020. This one centers on the need and practices of lament and lamentations in real life. I touch upon both individual and community lament and give several examples.

At the beginning of 2020, I did my first Podcast for a seminary class. In it, I talk about getting emotional with God—getting emotional like we would with our best friend, laying out our emotional cards, curses, and woes. It is grieving and being angry, but ultimately, we share with God our whole self and whole life, especially our emotions.
