We often divide ourselves into parts. There’s good parts and bad parts. The parts that we are proud of. And the parts we are ashamed of. There’s the parts of us that loves Jesus, our families, and treat people well. And then there’s the parts of us that are a mess. That make bad choices in the midst of conflict. That are people pleasing, choose toxic relationships, and tend towards unhealthy ways of coping with stress and pain life.

It’s a mess.

And over the next couple of weeks I want to help us have a framework untangling the mess.
