Rebuilding anything requires an honest reality-check regarding the foundation upon which we build... which is why confession is so important. Confession requires us to be intentionally aware: aware of who we are, aware of our history, and aware of who God is. A practice of confession allows us to deal with what's real in our lives personally, in our culture systemically, and to take ownership in ways that can lead toward not denial, but transformation, by God's grace. This message will explain the practice of Christian confession as not self-shaming, but self-honesty... and lay out a framework for practicing confession today.
