Yes 🙌 all of this! There are so many of us in this season though that God is using to begin to open these conversations and be the voices for those people not quite ready. You are one! So cheering you on ❤️🙏
I participated in Alanon rooms (support groups for families of alcoholics) for years and I would always think, "Why can't the church be more like this?" They were some of the most honest and healing conversations I ever had.
Sadly there are times when we go to fellow Christians about our struggles and heartaches, and are shamed for 'not having enough faith.' Yeah, I've experienced that.

You have no idea how much it means to read this. Thank you!

So very true! It’s a shame that addicts feel more welcomed in the basement of the church than in the sanctuary.

I've experienced that as well. It is not the true Gospel of Jesus. I am so sorry.
“He sanctified the suck.” Love this.
So so good, Jon. I needed to be reminded of this today. 🙌
Another great post. Congratulations on starting seminary. Praying for you
I love hearing that. So glad God used them.
