Hello my name is Scott and I’m a ……..
You see, this is the paramount difference between Living Free and many other programs that are available for people with Life Consuming Issues ( LCI ). I have come to believe that I have been transformed and can not be defined by a label. The reason this is possible? I have been healed by the amazing love and power of Jesus! Sounds cheesy, right? Inside church settings and programs the terms we throw around lose translation to the rest of the world, especially the secular world. I really can’t speak for you, a group of people, or anyone in generalizations. I can only speak for me.
I have been changed by the power of God and now I have the Awesome opportunity to help other people. Not because I have the answers, but because I know who does. I serve only as a simple sign pointing upwards that says, “ hope and healing is possible and available. All you have to do is ask!”
I have been asked to speak weekly via this blog regarding the beginning of a program my wife and I serve as coordinators for in our church called Living Free. I admit very candidly that I have never participated in a blog but I am a man who will be honest and open as I proceed with this task. If it somehow helps someone or serves to point them to a new beginning of hope, it is worth it.
The journey began January 20th with the first open facilitator training at our church for Living Free and culminated with the graduation of my team of facilitators. June 21st we began and I am pleased to report a positive start: 17 adults, 10 children, 8 facilitators and 6 children’s workers. That results in a total of 41 people involved in Living Free at our church for the first night. Wow, to God be all the Glory and praise. This result is right at ½ of what had pre-registered, but I know the best is yet to come. We are not discouraged. This is amazing!
As I close this first Blog let me just say to you what my team has been saying for months
“God’s Got this”
Blessings,
Scott
