This is our last Summer Replay Episode. Join Ivelisse as she welcomes Pastors Jason and Lindsay Swain to discuss the transformational power of lament and how it supports healing, resilience, and hope, especially for those facing cancer or loss.

They share favorite health tips centered on exercise, community, and life-giving hobbies, and explain why Jason paused a church series to teach “The Grace of Lament” after the 20th birthday of their daughter Summer, who died suddenly 20 years ago.

The Swains describe grief as messy, unpredictable, and a long-term ebb and flow that time may lessen but not heal, emphasizing Jesus as healer and the need for safe guides, counseling, friends, and intentional space to feel.

They advise others to avoid “Christianese,” not rush grief, show practical help without waiting to be asked, and use lament psalms to bring honest sorrow and hope to God.

Don’t miss this important episode and take time to make lament part of your faith in healing.
