Disappointment is one of those universal experiences, we all face moments where life doesn’t turn out the way we hoped. In this episode of Starting Place, Elizabeth unpacks how Christians can navigate disappointment without getting stuck in bitterness or despair. From unmet expectations in relationships or career, to deep struggles in ministry, we learn how lament gives us language to bring our grief and anger honestly before God.

Main Takeaways:
  • Disappointment is a normal part of following Jesus.
  • God can handle your anger and honest questions.
  • Lament is the biblical way to process pain and trust God.
  • We often avoid lament because of pride, discomfort, fear, or anger.
  • Psalm 13 shows us how: tell God, ask God, trust God.
