May 1 – Bringing Darkness to Light

We're only as sick as our secrets. Today Pastor Mike welcomes two new voices — Steffani and Memphis — who'll be joining him through May 4th while Corey is out. And they jump straight into the deep end: Step Five. What does it actually feel like to sit down with another human being and say the thing you swore you'd never say out loud? Steffani calls it a spiritual experience. Memphis talks about the freedom to make mistakes without shame. And Mike lands on something the recovery community does better than most churches: holding each other's confidence and accepting each other as fellow broken travelers just trying to walk in the light. The stone for today: What I hide begins to control me. Secrets grow stronger in the dark, but they lose their power when brought into the light.
