We need to feel safe to have healthy relationships. Make your relationships safe.

Connection, intimacy, relationship. We all desire for closeness with people, to know and be known. But tragically, we often trade true, pure love for a form of lust. When we use and abuse people, it numbs us to real connection and intimacy. Jesus wants all of us to experience deep relationships, but if we treat people like objects, we won't be able to connect.

Many of us don't want to draw near to our pain because we fear we will get trapped in pain and bitterness. Lament opens the door to see and experience the mercy of God. We need to experience and receive God’s mercy, so we do not lose our humanity and become something broken under the terrible weight of bitterness caused by the pain of this world.

Trauma wants to be seen. Trauma creates a deep need to be felt and understood, while at the same time, a desire to hide in fear, shame and embarrassment.

Learning the Liturgy of Lament helps us understand the Nature of Trauma and gives us a Pathway of Trust through trauma, grief, and loss.

What was the world like before the coming of Jesus? What changed? What is still changing? Christmas changed EVERYTHING. This is a challenge for us to follow the person and the way of Jesus. Fighting injustice, loving people and walking in the way of the cross.
