Episode 52: Thunk Thunk Thunk

The racetrack ride at Disney – The Speedway to Tomorrowland – is shockingly real to a kid. Bright popping colorful cars, twisty tracks, revving engines, low leather bucket seats and nobby rubber steering wheels all feel so real. But it’s the actual ride that eventually brings deeper meaning to the concept of “real.” We steer our cars too hard to the left and… THUNK… we hit the guardrail at the center designed to keep our ride on the track. We react by over-correcting to the right and… THUNK… we hit the guardrail at the center and are forced back on to the course laid out for us. And on and on it goes -- THUNK, THUNK, THUNK -- until we get to the end of the course and conclude that either the ride is lousy, or we have a defective car, or both. Our story begins with a child on a ride concluding her toy car is defective and in continues with her as an adult concluding she's defective because her mistakes feel a whole lot like THUNKING. She comes to believe she isn’t allowed to course correct or THUNK in public spaces, so she hides. Our story ends with God allowing a course correction that births a women’s ministry with a simple core value -- REAL women get healed because others in the family of faith can only bear what a woman chooses to share.
