📺 LIVE ONLINE SERVICES each Sunday at 8:30am | 10:00am | 11:30am PT ◾️ Have you ever struggled to understand why and how to spend time with God in prayer? We might approach prayer out of obligation, a sense of guilt, or neglect praying altogether. You might feel shame for your past and believe that you aren’t worthy of having a loving relationship with God. ◾️ But our Creator wants to build an intimate relationship with you! He wants this relationship to be real, so he gives us the choice to choose Him. So, no matter what you are walking through, know that He wants you to come to Him in your brokenness. ◾️ Join us today as we kick off our new series “Present”. Let’s learn how to build a relationship with God through prayer and flourish in our lives. Because a relationship with the creator of the Universe could change it all for you. ✅ Check-in to let us support you in your journey.

💡 Satan Uses SHAME To Keep Us From DRAWING NEAR To God.
🔸 Guilt Is More ACTION-Based - When You DO Something Bad.
🔸 Shame Is More IDENTITY-Based - When You Believe YOU ARE Bad.
|| I believe that guilt is adaptive and helpful—it’s holding something we’ve done or failed to do up against our values and feeling psychological discomfort. I define shame as the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging.
~Brene Brown
🔸 WHEN WE FEEL SHAME:
1. We Blame
2. We Mask It
3. We Hide
