In this week’s message from our Foundations series, we explored what it means to love God with our whole being — heart, soul, mind, and strength — and how spiritual maturity cannot happen apart from emotional health.
When we’re born again, our spirit is made new, but our history, habits, and emotional patterns often remain unhealed. Many of us live with spiritual dissonance, believing God is good but still feeling anxious, numb, or disconnected. Jesus doesn’t shame those places; He meets us in them.
This teaching invites us to stop living divided lives and allow God’s love to bring healing and alignment to every part of who we are. As we face our pain and patterns with honesty, we’re being loved into wholeness.
This is the whole gospel for the whole self for the whole world where transformed hearts become instruments of transformation in homes, communities, and beyond.
As we closed our gathering, we listened to “Come Out of Hiding” by Steffany Gretzinger. As you meditate on these questions, take a few quiet moments this week to do the same. Let the words wash over you, inviting you to step out from hiding and rest in the love that makes you whole.
