CWP.133. An old way but a forgotten way.
Howdy and welcome to the podcast, Coffee With Phil, where we drink good coffee and talk about life and how we can make faith real.
In this episode, Phil reviews a book that has recently impacted him, pointing to the age old biblical discipline of lament, one that has been forgotten by the modern church.
Book title: Dark clouds. Deep Mercy. Author: Mark Vroegop.

Here are the key points I share in this episode:
1. When you're desperate you pray deeper.
2. Lament has four parts: turn, complain, ask, trust.
3. Don't stop praying, push through.
4. Ask Boldly.
5. Pain is a platform for worship.
6. Hope springs from Truth rehearsed.
7. Lament is a surprising personal discovery.
