Scripture Talks About Unity in the Body of Christ

Aug 21, 2020 | A Cultivated Life, Connected Church Care | 1 comment

In a divisive world, it’s important to remember that division is the enemy’s plan, not God’s. It’s an attitude of heart and mind poised against Christ. Divisiveness is not the same thing as having a different opinion, it's when your opinion...

Ever find yourself struggling through life’s challenges? Maybe you’re tired and weary. Maybe fears and doubts threaten your ability to live well as a Christian.

I believe God has more peace, joy, and freedom than many of us come to know. I want this for us.

I also believe God is bigger and better than any of us can ever know. I want us to see more of Him daily.

Here we’ll journey through areas of emotional health, soul care, and spiritual growth in order to cultivate a life-well lived and a soul well-nourished. Not a perfect life, but a life reliant on the One who is perfect.

While it may not be easy, it’s worth it.

Sometimes secular media presentations show us a better understanding of Christ’s design in us to care and connect with empathy than we see as the norm in our Christian circles. I wish it weren’t so. We need emotional engagement that helps us feel seen and known. pic.twitter.com/Me4fZMDMSu

Highly alarming & damaging. “In short, the verse must mean something like “weep with those who have good, biblical reason to be weeping.” No. Emotional presence heals. Nitpicking reasons to not provide emotional presence damages. No justification breakdown warranted. twitter.com/RevKevDeYoung/…

I love that I get to work with Sol #TheForwardFoundation as a therapist in training! He's also equipping coaches to care well. 👇 "A conversation with Solome Skaff about how God can use you to help people find God in their time of need. #illuminateAustin fb.watch/80Js9nFQUS/

We try to will ourselves to not fear, then condemn ourselves & others when we feel fear. Our nervous systems tell us something doesn't feel safe, whether or not we are currently. God wants to comfort nervous systems so we can experience safety—so we don't have to feel fear.

This...👇👇👇 And attempts to discount or move past someone's truth (their story and how it impacts them) fuels shame and pain rather than connection. We must learn to sit with others in storytelling without telling them how to tell their truth/story. twitter.com/DianeLangberg/…
