Power of Community

Sacred by Design

You were never meant to be alone.

If you find yourself alone because no one seems to understand or because you can’t imagine sharing your struggle; listen in.
We’re exploring the need we all carry for community.
There is power within a circle of safety and good listening. And you deserve it.
Maybe you’ve found community and been hurt within it.
This is for you too.
Highlights:
Pain alone is awful. Pain together is bearable.
Healing from Trauma requires intimacy because intimacy is where the trauma happened. – Curt Thompson
Maybe you’re thinking, “There’s nobody else like this. There’s nobody else feeling this like me. There’s nobody else doing the things I do.” So, let’s talk about shame for a bit because we all need community. But, I think that no matter your struggle – whether it’s porn or hooking up or if it’s anger with God- don’t let shame tell you that you don’t belong in community, that you don’t deserve community, that you should be alone.
Maybe the first time you go to a community group, you just listen. That’s great. You’re showing up, you’re listening. And that’s a big step.
Phiippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. v14 Even so, you have done well to share in my present difficulty.
Prayer for Community:
Hands open to ask God to fill them with community.
Hand to your heart to name the pain of your disappointment or sorrow.
Hand to your belly to acknowledge the hunger to be seen and heard.
