Wounded people are often the ones who go on to hurt others. Most of us just don't know what to do with our pain and our desire for justice often feels overwhelming. But what if there was another way? What if you didn't have to be controlled by the wrongs that people have done to you? That's what Joel 3 is about. It's about God's promise to get justice on behalf of his people and the freedom that is meant to give us.

Yet, as we get to 2:28-32, we see that God is not just promising to restore the physical devastation but also the hearts of his people. Listen and hear how God is making all things new, starting with the hearts of his people. He truly is the God that gives hope to the hopeless.

In chapter 1 we will learn how to cry out to God in Lament bringing the real us into the presence of the real God.
