Crossview Church Our Story Workshop  1/31/2025

The teacher was amazing. He was vulnerable and real. Very easy to connect with and understand.
___
This was the first time my spouse realized I am broken and it’s not blaming him. Made me cry.
___
We’re going back to the foundation.
___
God continues to pursue us no matter what. Change takes time, don't rush it. Slow down and listen.
___
I am on the right track giving myself, my struggles, my hopes and desires for my/our future to Him. To stay strong in my faith and continued prayers asking God for direction in my life to do His will and how to better serve others in our church. I pray for friendships and connections with other like-minded women and couples.
___
I learned just how much our past plays into future and in our relationships. I learned that I have a hard time receiving love from God and from others. This workshop taught me how to learn from the brokenness and let it go instead of holding on to it and continuing to believe the lies of the brokenness.
___
It helped me to learn how beautifully God really did design marriage and I learned how much I didn’t understand abouts Gods design for love. As I was often finding myself trying to make love in my life play out the way I thought it should look, instead of surrendering to Gods design of love and how to “choose love” instead of focusing on “feeling loved.” I feel like it has changed things for us by me not constantly wondering why my husband doesn’t love me how I long to be but instead, have me focused on how much God loves me and how I can show that to my husband.
___
It’s wonderful that the workshop starts at “the beginning” of our lives and the brokenness that happens to us. To many times our “baggage” is referenced but not dug through. This really validates our hurt.
___
Learning that sin happened TO us and then can happen THOUGH us.  Unravel the past to live on in the future.
___
Realizing in times of life that our ONLY hope is in Christ. When we ask questions of each other the questions that have no answer are what we need to pray for each other about.
___
The story aspect was incredible. Didn’t realize where I was at.
___
This was a great experience in accepting we have skeletons and we can bring them out to be able to move forward.
___
I learned that we already rely on God, but now we have even better tools to give ourselves to God through Christ.
