“Good Boundaries and Goodbyes” – Book and Bible Study by Lysa TerKeurst
There are reasons we take the keys out of our car when we get out of it. We build houses with locks on the front and back doors. We lovingly place childproof locks on doors and drawers to prevent disaster. There are passwords to our personal financial and social media accounts. Words like ‘multi-factor authentication’ […]

Therapy and Theology Thursday
Shame and guilt are difficult topics to articulate since the emotions are quick to come flooding out at the same time — at least, that’s how I see it. Jim Cress has a wonderful acronym: S-H-A-M-E= Self Hatred At My Expense. I hadn’t thought of it that way. This session will put many of us […]
Therapy and Theology Thursday
“Emotions are energy in motion …” – Jim Cress. This discussion had me nodding my head, re-reading Scripture (not because I didn’t believe it, but because I needed the reinforcement), and taking lots and lots of mental notes. You may find yourself in various places throughout this segment — on the spiritually immature side as […]

Boundaries are meant to keep us safe. Guardrails keep us from veering off the deep end. Fences keep our pets in our yard. Toddler gates protect our children from venturing off into unsafe places. There is freedom in safety. Christians often misunderstand the concept of safety and freedom within healthy boundaries. Come and listen and […]
