There’s no way around the challenging work of rebuilding and reconstructing relationships. 

Because most of us have been there— Needing to forgive.

Wanting to lash out.

Caught in the awkward middle ground of owning what’s happened and trying to move forward. 

Which is why—over the next few weeks—we want to reorient ourselves in this work. To consider the ways our broken hearts can be comforted. How broken connections are restored. But also, how the way of Jesus leads us into health in unexpected ways.  Where we start to imagine that God’s renewal of all things might even include our friendships, families, and most intimate relationships.
