Psalm 42: Defiant Hope || Ps. Aaron Frost

Last Sunday, Ps. Aaron continued our Psalms: A Soundtrack for the Soul series by unpacking one of Scripture’s most honest and hope-filled laments: Psalm 42. In a psalm where the writer’s soul is “downcast within me,” we witness a powerful spiritual discipline — preaching truth to ourselves. Rather than being swept away by despair, the psalmist chooses to remember who God is, anchoring hope not in changed circumstances but in the unchanging character of God. In this message, Ps. Aaron explores: The difference between listening to your soul and leading it — and why both matter How remembrance becomes a lifeline in seasons of dryness, distance, or depression Why biblical lament is not weakness, but worship What it means to say, with the psalmist: “Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him.” If you’re walking through a heavy season, wrestling with disappointment, or longing for God to feel close again, this message offers both permission to lament and an invitation to hope. Watch now and be reminded: you can bring your whole soul to God — and still choose defiant hope.
