Complexity: Help | Naked Spirituality Series

GracePointe Church | Nashville, TN

At some point in our lives, many of us start to believe that asking for help is a sign of weakness or inadequacy. In reality, “help” is an invitation to build relationships and establish a stronger and deeper form of community. Today, lead pastor Josh Scott continues our “Naked Spirituality” series by exploring why “help” is so hard to say but so important to embrace as part of your spiritual journey. He also reminds listeners that no matter who you are, you already belong.
