Clarus ’26

October 16-17

Where do you turn when life falls apart? What do you say to God when suffering has no easy answer—when the darkness lingers, when prayers seem to go unanswered, when grief refuses to lift? The Psalms meet us there.

Clarus ’26 takes us into the heart of the Psalter to explore what it means to suffer well. These ancient songs—marked by anguish, longing, confusion, and hope—show us that honest faith is not silent faith. They give us language to cry out to God, to wrestle with Him, and to find our way, by his grace, back to trust.

Over this Friday and Saturday, we will walk through a collection of psalms that address some of the most piercing questions in the human experience: Where is God when we suffer? Why do the wicked seem to prosper while the righteous grieve? How long must we wait? What does it look like to bring our sorrow to the God who hears? We will explore how the Psalms—individually and as a whole—point us to the One who has Himself entered into suffering, and who is able to save.

This year, we are delighted to welcome three gifted teachers to help us sit with these questions: Ron Giese, Jeremy Meeks, and Mark Vroegop. Please join us as we grieve honestly, hope boldly, and worship the God whose mercies never end.
