Embracing Biblical Lament (an interview with Danielle Kelly)
Manage episode 408750777 series 2286668
We live in a broken world full of pain and suffering. We are bound to suffer trauma and grief; how do we navigate that pain as believers? Pastor’s wife, writer and podcaster Danielle Kelly joins the show today to share how God invited her into biblical lament as a lifestyle and how choosing to trust God’s character in the process transformed her life and relationship with Him.
SHOW NOTES
- Biblical lament is more than crying aloud with your grief; it’s grieving with a purpose that draws you into deeper trust in God.
- On the other side of entering lament with Jesus is beauty, joy, and new growth.
- Embrace lament as a lifestyle that will ebb and flow throughout your life. Make space for it whenever it arrives.

“One of the things that God started to show me is that lament is beautiful because I was scared of it. I said ‘Okay, I see you inviting me into this, but I feel like it’s a dark pit that I can’t see the other side of, and I don’t know what’s at the bottom of that pit.’ But Jesus is on the other side and He has lament with a purpose, our lament is not empty. He’s a savior that knows lament well and His invitation is not something He hasn’t walked through Himself.”
-Danielle Kelly
“When you sit in the darkness of lament with the Lord and allow Him to comfort you, to minister to you, to speak to you…then He starts to water you. Then all of a sudden beauty comes out of it and you are able to sing. You are able to worship, you are able to have a different perspective, but it has to go through a process of sitting in the darkness and feeling all the feelings and being there.”
