This week, Pastor John shares the truth of the gospel message using the lens of the Disney film, "Encanto." We go into this movie as a spiritual parable that shines a light on generational trauma and it's damaging power to relationships. Unresolved trauma echos through generations, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The truth embedded in this beautiful story is one of reconciliation and redemption.  Our miracle is that we can be healed, restored, and redeemed. There is hope for our broken, damaged, and weary souls through Christ - our light.
