Our nation is grieving the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and others. Recent events have called attention to injustice, inequality, and systemic racism in our nation – all in the midst of a global pandemic that has inflicted its share of trauma. And African Americans have come face-to-face with 400-year-old wounds of generational trauma.

This episode is an in-depth discussion on what lamenting is, and how we can use it to pour out our pain to God and begin the process of healing.
