What things in your life do you try really hard to hide?   If my friends knew that I’m struggling with big temptations If people ever found out that I’ve had an abortion If people really knew how bad my marriage is   Honestly, we are all hypocrites at some level. And the more visible we are in our Christian circles, the more we feel that there are certain things we can never admit out loud.  So we don’t tell anyone, and tell ourselves that we can handle it on our own.  But we don’t heal in secret.  Join Dr. Juli Slattery and learn how God is glorified when we’re ready to admit that we just don’t have it all together.
