For many it is the past that hinders them from living fully in the present and moving into their future.” Some key takeaways: - Jesus wants to be present in our present, future AND our past - Without addressing past wounds and trauma, we will unknowingly carry them into every relationship and endeavor - Wounding takes place episodically and therefor must be healed with more than mere concepts.

You gave Jesus your heart, but what about the rest of you? In this sermon Julie presented at The Vine in Goshen, IN, she’ll talk about steps we can all take to ensure that we are healthy, whole people. Let’s be people who represent Jesus well with our whole self! Some key takeaways: - When we withhold parts of ourselves from redemption, renewal and regeneration, we do a disservice to ourselves, our families, our faith community, and ultimately the gospel. - Attempting to separate matters of faith from mental & emotional health, past wounds & trauma, and relational difficulties, results in disjointed people living fractured lives. - When we are doing the inner work, the results show up in our outer life as we are able to become a clearer and better reflection of the love of God.
