Layered Freedom

How far can we go? How much is permissible? The Psalms suggest that we can go the whole way, that it is all permissible; the praise, yes, but also the grief, the sorrow, the anger… -Walter Brueggeman   In the Spacious Place, we often talk about freedom and I think in some ways it can get confusing for some---actually it used to be very confusing for me! So today I’m gonna share a little bit about what I mean when I say freedom is layered and hopefully let you in on some of the nuances that I have found helpful in regards to what it means to be a Jesus follower and how that relates to my broken places.    Come with me as I take a few scriptures and expand on what they might mean in their fullness, rather than simply taking them at face value and tossing them out because they don’t feel good. I’ll share some of my own struggles as well as some of the places that I have overcome that I don’t visit quite as often as I used to!

Hello and welcome to The Spacious Place!! My name is Kari Levang—-I’m a simple girl (if you can still call yourself a girl when you’re 50 something:), with a complicated past and a great big God! This space was designed to create room for us to talk about the things of life—our joys, our questions, our fears and so much more! But most of all, my desire is that we will leave our time together with an enlarged capacity for hope to grow! That our moments together will cultivate our hearts in such a way that we can find ourselves flourishing in this thing called life. Receiving God’s absolute delight in us——letting it take root in our deepest places and allowing it to spill out of our lives to the people around us.
