Join James as he dives into why we stop making friends later in life. Is it because we have our core 4? Or are we afraid to risk it... again? After many years of using the mantra "We must be a Safe Place", James is still digging into why it's so hard to do this. After experiencing a powerful online community, he has some new insight. We hope you find it helpful!

If you're anything like me, you struggle with Church. Maybe you have some church hurt from poor leadership, gossip, money grubbing, or the barrage of other ways sinful people mess up what God intended for good. I'm not here to tell you to join a church, but I am here to tell you not to do it alone. The local Church just happens to be the most convenient way to do that. So let's take a look in the Word and see what God desires our gathering to look like. 

Scripture: 
-Hebrews 10:24-25
-1 Corinthians 12:12, 14:23-26

As humans, we are well acquainted with disappointment in others. Maybe even our own Dad's. What if we truly let God father us? In the midst of an imperfect life with imperfect people who love us imperfectly, can we let Him fill the gap? Do you believe He can? Does your soul need restoration... or just... rest? 

Join James as he shares some hurt, and hang-ups, but chooses to turn it back to The Lord. There is a power there that your heart desperately needs to feel complete. 

Verses:
-Mark 2:27
-Matthew 11:28-30
-Exodus 20:5, 34:14
-Deuteronomy 32:35-36

James recalls a recent story of encouraging another, while feeling as though he was preaching to himself. We do this don't we? The Spirit is gracious to remind us of verses for the edification of the body... but often ourselves as well. 

Verses:
-1 Peter 3:18-20 & 4:8
-Hosea 14:3
-Psalm 119:11
-John 13:35
-Revelation 12:11
-Matthew 15:8-9

James recounts some discouragement, isolation attempts from the enemy, and how to push through it. It is easy to feel devalued when you feel like an island. Press into Jesus when this happens, stay a part of the body, and God will surprise you! You are a valuable part of the body of Christ... but sometimes that means you feel different than others. That's ok. God made you that way!

Have you ever met that Christian that acts like all Christian's are perfect, pleasant, and good for you? Church hurt often begins this way. Leaders trusting leaders and never giving you a voice? We need to be honest about the human factor of humanity. Christian's still sin and still need Jesus just as much as the day they got saved! What about the differing versions of Christianity? What does it mean to be "born again"? Let's get into!
