This week, Jake and Bob explore the complex process of personal change, what change requires, and why change can seem out of reach. In today’s culture of near instant gratification, it’s easy to think change should and will come about quickly and without much effort. While God can and does work many miracles, the reality is, change takes time, effort, and a lot of grace. Jake and Bob have experienced this in their lives, understand the struggle, and share their GIVE framework as a guide to help you navigate the beautiful and yet painful waters of change.
Key Points:
- Change requires an understanding of the human experience
- Relationships and community play an important role in personal transformation
- An open disposition of the heart is key to allowing grace to change us
- Judgements and beliefs can “block” the grace we receive in the Sacraments from transforming our lives
- Healing requires personal responsibility, it should not be approached superstitiously
- God does work miracles and healing can come quickly. But most often healing occurs over time and with consistent engagement
- GIVE: Grace, Intention, Vision, Equipment
- Change is often accompanied by suffering and sacrifice
