Vulnerability
September 1, 2019 • Dr. Kristen Hill
Vulnerability is not an easy thing. How are we to be vulnerable without being weak or sound like we're complaining. Is there balance? “May we have friends like the ones we did when we were 12, when it was easier to be vulnerable”. Don’t let your bad experiences with others, being burned, betrayed, or hurt allow you to shut yourself off from others in your life. You may mute the pain you’ve experienced from past damaging relationships, but you will also mute the joy that can only come from truly opening ourselves up, being vulnerable, and experiencing each other as God intended us to.

Conflict resolution. The ability to navigate the choppy waters of disagreements, and sometimes ‘fights’, and how to work through those tough moments and find restoration and reconciliation with those people in our lives. See the notes section for a full recap of the sermon.
Danger of relying on self-reliance
August 18, 2019 • Kal Busman
What exactly is self-reliance? Self-reliance is basically the belief we can take care of things by ourselves and we don’t need anyone else. Is there good, healthy self-reliance and dangerous self-reliance? YES!! Healthy interdependence is growing the ability to understand we do need each other. We were built and designed for connection, to do life interdependent on each other.
Seeing The Beauty in Others
August 11, 2019 • Kal Busman
Today is getting past how others have seen us, labeled us, and what they've said about us. Seeing how God sees us and using that truth to help us in our relationships. We also have to be willing to admit to our own shortcomings and when someone says something in truth, it could be true. AND then be willing to work on it!
