“I think there are reasons we deny our pain including that we can are overwhelmed (‘Where do I start?’), the fear of ‘This will make things worse”… Or, we don’t have he community around us to help us process.” --Steve O'Dell

Today, as only the Holy Spirit can do, these first three Shorts episodes link together. So today, we continue our accidental theme of "Spiritual practices that help us to become real" with Steve talking about why we avoid pain.

Additionally, we talk about:

How can we become people who can walk with others in challenging places?
What is the cost of not engaging these painful places?
What is the first step toward feeling these hard parts of our hearts?

We also talk about these lament episodes here

And talk about Healing Care
