Lessons from Disneyland: the extravagant love of God
Rachel Redeemed
God and Mickey Mouse? Yup. We’re going there…
Last month, I explored how the gathered Church can be good medicine for everyone, having read The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by M.D. Bessel van der Kolk. I suggested that the Church has a particular good to offer those who have experienced both big and little 'T' trauma - which is sadly so commonplace in our broken world and fractured relationships.

Why your church might be the medicine you need
Rachel Redeemed
Being 'just-about-a-millennial' I have next to zero idea of what’s going on with the latest political/TikTok trend surrounding the term ‘brat’. Perhaps you don’t either – and that’s fine!
But these are my memories from growing up as an army BRAT (British Regiment Attached Traveler): boring army-issue magnolia woodchip wallpaper surrounding us as we sat down to dinner as a family, night after night. Standard issue furniture was the standard. And military punctuality wasn’t always my idea of fun.
