Talk and meditation: Embracing our limitations - Owen Lynch

How can it be good to accept some limitations in life instead of striving to overcome them all? Owen Lynch looks at how this has applied to him and, maybe surprisingly, takes Jesus as an example of someone whose choice to live within limits may have set us a good pattern for a healthy life. This is not about limitations imposed by society on the grounds of race, class or gender, but about considering how we are uniquely shaped and equipped by our personalities, life seasons and situations, our emotional, physical and intellectual capacities, and our personal histories, including wounds or traumas.There’s time at the end to reflect and try to recognise some of these limitations which shape us, and consider which of them we might embrace, accept or discuss with friends.Find more resources to help with spiritual and emotional health at severnvineyard.org/health
