March 02, 2023363 | When You’re Mad at Yourself
Continuing in our “Breaking Down Forgiveness” series, we’re going to discuss what it looks like when the person you cannot forgive is yourself. You have likely either heard or said something along the lines of, “I can never forgive myself for what I did.” It can be difficult to look at ourselves with the heart of God – with grace, compassion, and understanding. We hope you find this conversation helpful and encouraging if you or someone you know is struggling in this area.

Do I feel the freedom in this relationship to communicate what I can and cannot give without the fear of being punished or pushed away?
What are some realistic restrictions I can place on myself to reduce the access this person has to my most limited emotional or physical resources?
What time of the day is most HEALTHY for me to interact with this person? What time of the day is the most unhealthy time for me to interact with this person?

November 04, 2022355 | When You’ve Been Hurt
As we continue our “We Need Each Other” series, we’re going to talk about the reality of being hurt in community.
