\"\"If there is one constant about life, it\u2019s change.\u00a0 Some people change for the better; others change for the worse.\u00a0 Which it is, is always a choice.<\/p>\n

So this weekend as we continue our series \u201c12 Steps Up: How Messy People Mature,\u201d we\u2019re going to talk about how to embrace change;<\/strong> the deep kind of change that comes from a spiritual awakening inside our soul.\u00a0 The kind of change that gets us out of old ruts and allows us to look at life in new ways.<\/p>\n

The one thing I\u2019ve found working with people with all kinds of addictions over the years, is that change is a fearful thing<\/strong> for a person who is hiding deep in shame.\u00a0 It\u2019s the secrets of the past.\u00a0 It\u2019s the old ways that need to be protected because as bizarre as it may sound, and as painful and destructive as those ways are, at least they are known and in some way, safe.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s odd to think that some people would opt for being miserable when they could be happy.\u00a0 It\u2019s weird to think that some people would rather spend their life in a dark room hiding from the truth rather than embracing it<\/strong>, and as Jesus promised, be set free from it or even by it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you know someone who is facing change, lots of change, and they want to embrace it, they want to learn how to change for good, this weekend at The Gathering<\/a> is for you.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t just tell them about The Gathering.\u00a0 That\u2019s informing.\u00a0 Call them.<\/strong> Text them.\u00a0 Say, \u201cListen I will be by to pick you up.\u00a0 We\u2019ll go to Starbucks or McDonald’s,” or brunch, or wherever.\u00a0 There are over 245 restaurants within a five-mile radius of where we meet in the Cool Springs area.<\/p>\n

So this weekend could be the weekend when everything changes for you and someone you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
