WHOLENESS
Jesus is at work in our lives. Taking the broken, disjointed pieces of our story and putting it all back together again. The biblical word is, “shalom.” Shalom gets at the idea of wholeness, harmony, interconnectedness. And the invitation that is constantly before us is to participate in what God is doing in our own lives.
To pay attention. To notice. To get curious. To take seriously the kindness of God in the company of others. To be responsive to the leading of the Holy Spirit as we are formed more and more into our true selves. This is the path of transformation.
Want to connect with someone about how to pursue wholeness in your story?

Franklin is passionate about creating a safe place for people from all backgrounds to explore and have ownership of their personal story and spiritual journey. If you would like to connect with Franklin, to begin processing your own story and spiritual journey, you can reach him here.

“The hard work of life is not ‘dealing with your pain.’ The hard work of life is allowing yourself to experience comfort and kindness- from others and from yourself.”
