New series: Episode 5: Vulnerability (and Boundaries) Episode 6: Lack (and Enough) Episode 7: Courage (and JOMO)

What is lack?

Lack can be real, but hyperawareness creates scarcity

Where do we see it in individuals, families, and the church? (and what's the result) 1 fear and shame 2 hyperawareness and fixation v awareness of what we need 3 tucking in rather than connecting 4 never satisfied, running on empty

Lack as an individual What dynamics play into our experience of lack v enough? What areas did we experience a sense of lack in our family of origin?

Lack in community Where is lack surfacing in your church, workplace, or other organization – is creativity and/or brainstorming allowed? What has God given us here? What is it that He has given us that is enough?

What does God say about lack? Jesus in the Gospels Philippians 4:9-13 Genesis 22 Romans 3:23-25

How do we combat lack? Practice of enough – You are enough. I am enough. He is enough. Enough in Christ. Culture of gratitude – link to Peace in His Presence podcast - https://michellediercks.com/podcast/ leaning into fear and wrestling rather than pushing it away

Cow thanksgiving - sunshine and leftovers = enough
