You were created in the image and likeness of God (<em>imago Dei<\/em>) and because of this you are full of his grace, full of his dignity, and worthy of God&#8217;s love and the love of respect of all. We understand your pain, your loneliness, your fear, your trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want you to know that you are not alone in these feelings, and we are committed to being a steadfast source of love and support. We are especially dedicated to walking alongside our LGBTQ+ siblings in Christ, offering not just love, but also truly safe and affirming spaces to worship. Our Spiritual Direction is designed to be genuinely welcoming and supportive, deeply recognizing the unique challenges you may face while celebrating the incredible, beautiful person God created you to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please remember this truth above all: You are wonderfully and beautifully made, precisely as you are, in the very image and likeness of God! We celebrate you for simply being you, and we are here, with open hearts, ready to support you on your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are struggling with identity issues, gender issues, sexual orientation issues; if you are struggling to live an authentic Spirit-filled life, Please reach out to set up a Spiritual Direction session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">You are not alone, be not afraid!<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LGBTQ Resilience Living an authentic Queer Christian life is increasingly difficult given the political and cultural climate that seems intent on repressing the natural beauty with which God created you.
