God is Never Distant - Lamentations 1 - 5, Week 5

Featuring: Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Johnny V., and James Gowell

Edited by: Tim Nicholson

Jerusalem is in ruins. The streets are empty. The people are in chains. And the prophet sits in the ash and weeps.

Lamentations isn't a book for the put-together, it's a book for anyone who has ever felt abandoned, forgotten, or spiritually numb. Five chapters of raw grief that somehow land on the most stunning declaration in the Old Testament: *His mercies are new every morning.*

In this episode of Thriving in the Word, we walk straight into the wreckage of Lamentations 1–5 and ask the questions people are afraid to ask out loud, Where is God when everything falls apart? What do you do when the goal posts keep moving? How do you hold onto hope when hope looks like pie in the sky?

The answer isn't a platitude. It's a posture.

The Lord is your inheritance — even in the rubble.

Lamentations 3:24 | NLT

The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!"
