Mourning Into Dancing: Psalm 30 (SEEN SERIES)
Episode 148
Tears, regret, and long nights can make it feel like you’re sliding into a pit with no way out. I walk through Psalm 30 with you as a song of praise that tells the truth about suffering and still refuses to give up on joy, showing the God who heals, delivers, and restores life in the darkest places.
I look back at the women we’ve been studying and the ways God keeps meeting people who feel unseen or stuck: the hunched woman in Luke 13, Hagar, the bleeding woman, Leah, and Elizabeth. The thread running through every story is hope for healing and a reason to speak praise out loud, not just privately. God meets us in lament, restores what feels dead, and turns mourning into dancing.

We Discuss:
• Psalm 30 as a picture of rescue and restoration
• God’s favor as strength and God’s hidden face as dismay
• Lament as a language God welcomes
• Mourning into dancing and sackcloth replaced with joy
• Seeing God’s healing across Scripture and in our own lives
• Choosing to praise with our voices in community
The Seen Series episodes are part of my upcoming Bible Study, UnSeen. As I approach the release of this book, I desperately covet your prayers. Over the next few months, I’ll be sending it to both my editor and formatter. (I’ll also be staying up way too late, going cross-eyed, and making a million little changes.) I’d love to have it in hand in by mid-late summer.
