We don't foster environments where people can let go and be real. We don't foster honesty or honest dialogue. Not in this culture and not in the church today. Especially not in the church. ofcourse things get messy when people start getting into the real deep stuff of their hearts. The chaos...the doubts...the mistakes...the wounds. I think it is worth the mess. It is worth it to get to really know someone and to learn how to love them, how to be a true friend. Ofcource it is also the level we are supposed to be operating on with those around us, evidenced by a God who spoke to the deep needs and hidden things of people's hearts, last time he visited this earth.
Are you fostering an environment where people can feel safe to work through deep and sometimes scary stuff around you.
Are you a safe person (confidential, trust worthy, gentle, caring, etc.)?
Thoughts?
