This is Us: Blaming & Shaming Ourselves into Despair This is Good News: God Holds, Hears, & Heals us with Care

This sermon reminds us that blame and shame are powerful. They'll keep you trapped in a cycle of despair. But that's not what God wants for us. Jump into the places that feel unfamiliar. Take a risk. It's hard to do. It's hard to allow ourselves to be held and heard. But if we are healed, we can then become the holders and the hearers for others in our world.
