MercyTalk

On this episode of Testimony Tuesday, we hear the powerful story of transformation of one of our Residential Program graduates, Julia! At Mercy, we get to hear so many incredible testimonies from people who have gone through our counseling programs and our Keys to Freedom study. However, those outside of Mercy rarely have the opportunity to hear these stories, which is why we host Testimony Tuesday. We hope you’re encouraged by Julia’s story and how God has powerfully moved in her life!

As we continue our “We Need Each Other” series, we’re going to talk about the reality of being hurt in community. Much of the pain that people live with comes as a direct result of painful or disappointing relationships where trust was broken. These hurts can then become a massive barrier for people wanting to engage in deep relationships again. We hope to encourage and help you work through those wounds so that you can open yourself back up to the kind of rich community that God has in His heart for you.

• Why working through relational wounds is so vital

In this episode of our “We Need Each Other” series, we’ll talk about the importance of embracing vulnerability if we want to experience deep relationships and community. Part of being vulnerable with others is expressing our need for one another, which can be scary because it acknowledges dependence on others. The reality is that expressing our needs and being vulnerable with one another (in a wise and healthy way) honors God because it’s how He created deep community to operate.

Also, in this episode…

• How Western culture has affected our view of vulnerability
