Sermon: The A in PACK-What It Means to Truly Find "Acceptance"


Listen Later

What does it mean to truly belong somewhere … without losing yourself in the process?

In this sermon, Dez continues the ongoing series on PACK Life by exploring the "A" in PACK: Acceptance, Acknowledgement, and Accountability. Together, these three ideas form a foundation for authentic spiritual community … one built not on perfection, but on honesty, growth, healing, and shared responsibility.

Dez reflects on the importance of being fully seen while still being fully accepted. From difficult conversations about language, identity, and personal growth to the fear of rejection and isolation, this message dives deeply into what it means to exist authentically within a healing community.

The sermon also includes major updates on the church's upcoming new space, the June 1st grand opening, new sacrament offerings, and the vision of creating a visible beacon of healing and connection in Colorado Springs.

Throughout the message, Dez emphasizes that PACK Life is not about conformity or becoming "a face in the crowd." Instead, it's about strengthening individuality while building meaningful communal bonds rooted in acceptance, accountability, and love.
