What is Broken In?
Broken In is a relational healing ministry that helps participants to identify and strengthen the weak areas in their spiritual and social lives that have become disconnected from a Christ-centered and God loving lifestyle.Broken In is specific ally designed to help repair and strengthen areas of your life that have damaged your relationship with God the Father.
Okay...but what can I expect?
We start off the night with some worship through singing and guitar. We have a group lesson taught by one of the Broken In leaders. There will be an activity either after the lesson or after worship. The activity may simply be jotting down some answers to questions, it may be the leaders doing a skit, or it may be a symbolic activity that goes with the lesson. The final part of the night will be in small groups. (The small groups are same gender groups that will be the same through the season.) In small groups we discuss the lesson in deeper way, discussing how if affected us and what we got out of it. That’s what one can expect at an evening at Broken In.
Why the title, Broken In?
Admitting our sin and brokenness is the first step to authentic relationships. By having a humble attitude towards our relationship with God and acknowledging that our sin has fractured our relationship with Christ, we then may be able to say that we are indeed broken in.
Relational Brokenness is when the perfect relationship with God and others, as stated in 1st John 1:3, has been weakened and disconnected by the sins of the world.
Relational Healing is striving to repair the areas of one’s life that have been violated by sin. These areas prevent us from experiencing authentic relationships. As a child of God, we reestablish healthy boundaries and honest relationships with Him, others and ourselves.
Okay...but who is Broken In for?
Broken In is for EVERYONE! It’s for anyone who has experienced pain, hurts, anger, sadness, insanity, grief, loneliness, rejection, or anything that has taken us further away from God, or damaged our relationship with God or others.
If you are human you can benefit from Broken In!
