No matter where we are in our journey, Jesus invites us to draw near to Him. “Come unto me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light (Matthew 11:28–30).

In his preface to The Great Divorce, C.S. Lewis explains that new beginnings first require going back. Lewis writes, “A wrong sum can be put right: but only by going back till you find the error and working it afresh from that point, never by simply going on. Evil can be undone, but it cannot "develop" into good. Time does not heal it. The spell must be unwound, bit by bit, ‘with backward mutters of dissevering power’ or else not.”

The parts of our hearts, stories, and relationships that have known brokenness must be tended to—and not merely with bandages and barricades. Our formative experiences take up more space in our hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits than we realize. These experiences do not stay in the past, but continue to impact and shape our present narratives. Pastoral care can be a good starting place, but sometimes we are in need of additional support and resources. We’re happy to help you get connected to a licensed mental health professional.

Being honest with God requires a wild, child-like faith that He will meet us as we are, yet not leave us unchanged. Scripture teaches: “—what is exposed by the light becomes visible—‘Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you’.” (Ephesians 5:13-14). Our experiences and feelings are not to remain buried for the

The Gospel offers both a future and present hope that God’s kingdom is and is yet to come. One day, all will be made right. In the meantime, Christ draws near to those in need of comfort and healing and invites the shepherds of his sheep to do the same (Psalm 34:18). In Jeremiah, God rebukes priests and prophets that speak of peace when there is no peace; these priests and prophets falsely diagnose the problems plaguing God’s people and offer superficial treatments to wounds in dire need of deeper healing (Jeremiah 8:10-11). We do a disservice when we fail to point people to Jesus and God’s Word. It is also negligent to address external behaviors/symptoms without tending to practical needs, injustice, harm, and suffering (Matthew 25:35-40). Jesus healed people before he commanded them to go and sin no more (John 5:14, 8:11). Our call—as the hands and feet of Christ—is to care for others with competence and tenderness, in love and in truth (Ephesians 4:15).
