Failing Forward with Gratitude

We all reach a point in our journeys where it feels like we are failing. Let’s discuss the possibility of doing our best to stay in gratitude for the moment, whatever it may contain. Let us remember that God is still with us in these times, so that we are always growing, learning, and moving forward.

Honoring Domestic Violence Awareness Month

As a church we are committed to learning about issues that impact both individual members of our church and our community as a whole. With that in mind, recognize October as Domestic Violence Awareness month. To honor this Pastor Chuck interviewed Betty Lindberg.

Betty is a Domestic Violence survivor who endured 4 years of abuse and suffered traumatic injuries in her early 20’s.  Today, she is a Domestic Violence Advocate that has spent the last 14 years providing first response crisis support to others in a similar situation.  By sharing her story and using her experiences, knowledge and training, she hopes to encourage others to seek help, end the silence, and raise awareness to Stop Domestic Violence.

In this interview we explore the topics of domestic violence, healthy vs. unhealthy relationships and the ways in which people may find themselves in one of those situations.

Practicing Gratitude

Finding gratitude in our lives is something we can cultivate, a practice so to speak. When we create a daily gratitude practice we are able to uncover the gifts within it all. It is through practicing gratitude we are able to trust that even in hard times God is there too.

The Six Ways that People Need Help

What does it mean to be spiritually hungry? Or spiritually imprisoned? Jesus famous assertion that “I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me’ tells us everything about not just physical needs, but the spiritual needs we all have too. Want to help someone? First you have to know what it is that they really need help with.

Addiction: Can We Find an Anchor? - 10MofC

The theological virtue of hope is the patient and trustful willingness to live without closure, without resolution, and still be content and even happy because our Satisfaction is now at another level, and our Source is beyond ourselves. Fr. Richard Rohr

The angels in our lives know one thing maybe above all others …. that love makes room.  How do we find more of a capacity for that love, a love that welcomes, a love that warms?
