Romans1:1-5 Suffering is a part of the human experience on this planet. As much as we try to avoid pain and suffering, it seems to find us.

Have you ever felt that God has forsaken you? The first two verses of Psalm 22 are a cry of utter despair, expressing this very feeling.

Jesus wants us to be a church that runs towards scary moments and offer love, kindness, empathy, and hope to people who are in pain.

God does not ask us to wallow in shame or self-hatred. When we recognize how our own hard-heartedness has impacted others, we begin to heal.
