What labels do you carry in your soul? For good and bad, we all have many identities we’ve taken (or been given) by people in our lives. We begin to inhabit these identities, to take on the labels as who we are, even when they are toxic. The stories of Abraham and Simon (whose nickname is Peter) demonstrate how we discover who we truly are: by following the one who knows us fully and truly.
Why do we feel awkward? And when we feel awkward, what, exactly, are we feeling? In this series, we’re going to explore some of the most awkward stories in the Bible. Because awkwardness has a surprising spiritual promise – we can discover sins that were hidden to us, but known to God. If we’re willing to let God make it awkward, we can find hope and healing!
