Session Description:
Kurt reminds us that our individual stories matter and need to be shared. So many of us carry heavy stories—stories of pain, sadness, and lonliness. When our personal stories are witnessed, these struggles can begin to heal. However, Jesus accepts us—today—even when we don’t or can’t accept ourselves. As Carl Rogers has said, the curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. We find freedom as we accept our identity as a Child of God and as we keep the commandments. Through grace we are accepted by Jesus Christ today and through the Atonement, healing is possible.
