Episode: Episode 10 - Suffering & Lament with Leah Wrenne
Description: What do we do when life gets really hard and we pray for the peace that passes understanding…but the peace doesn’t come? Is God still present? Is our suffering an anomaly or aberration? Have we failed or has God failed? Today I talk with singer/songwriter Leah Wrenne about her struggles with anxiety, chronic health issues, and her advocacy for mental health awareness in the church. We talk about the role lament has to play in communities of faith and re-learning what goodness looks like when pain persists.
