Deep dives
Living in Vulnerability
Human beings are inherently meant to live vulnerably; however, sin has distorted this desire, leading people to hide their true selves. This struggle with authenticity is often shaped by the communities we grow up in, where misrepresentations of God can make it difficult to approach Him honestly. The discussion emphasizes that societal expectations often depict faith as a one-dimensional experience, neglecting emotions such as sadness and lamentation. Instead of recognizing that it's okay to feel both joy and sorrow at the same time, many are led to believe that they must mask their true feelings in the context of worship.
