The Importance of Lament

In this episode, Dr. Rico Villanueva from the Philippines who shares his conviction that Christians have to learn to be honest about their emotions and how the Psalms of Lament can help us say things to God that we might otherwise struggle with. He also explores the history of Christianity in the Philippines and the importance of indigenous languages. I strongly recommend that you get hold of Rico’s book, It’s OK not to be OK , which I will be reviewing soon. During the interview, Rico mentioned his favourite song; you can watch it on this video if you’d like to hear some Philippine worship music.
