Gratitude. Joy. Hope.

God has done some healing work on us, and we are sharing a few reasons why and how. We get practical.

Also we do a live, old-timey candy taste testing and it’s disgusting.

Welcome.

Question of the Week:
What do you believe is the core fear of men or women? How are our fears similar or different?

Larry Crabb in Fully Alive :
“Men and women fear the same thing: “We fear aloneness—life without connection, achievement without companionship, existence without friendship, forever wandering in lonely despair.

“Loneliness is a taste of hell. Women experience the basic fear of aloneness as the terror of invisibility: unseen and unwanted. The call to invite others toward them arouses their fear. The question burns quietly within them: Do I have [something within me] that another would desire? 

“Men, created and called to move into relationship with others, feel the fear of aloneness differently. In their aloneness, men fear weightlessness. Do I have what it takes to move into community, into soul-to-soul connection? To risk that my moving will have no visible impact? To move toward other who might not value my movement?” (p. 107-108)
