One of the things I feel like is crucial in this moment in the church in America is that we reconnect to Jesus of the Gospels.

It's imperative that we know him and that we reflect him and that we understand that the end goal, somebody, somebody stay with me here,

the end goal to all discipleship is Christ's

likeness.

It will always be.

I didn't have this in my notes, so I don't know if I should say it or not.

And this is when I usually say it.

One of the things about us, men can do this just as easily.

It's just that I happen to be a woman.

And so I've seen it with women.

I've done it. I've seen it with women. I've done it.

I've seen it with women over and over again. If I may be so bold, especially older women,

I want to talk to you right this minute, who will not allow the family to deal with their

problems because they prefer denial to health.

And I say to you, if you've got your family where everybody has to live in a false reality, because nobody can deal with their issues, because

somehow you think it's going to reflect badly on you if people admit to what has happened

inside the home.

I say to you today, come to freedom.

Come to freedom.

And be the first one that says, you know what, let's all get well together.

Sometimes we'll think, I remember talking to a woman who said to me she was about, this was years ago, she was about my age.

And she says, it's just too late for me to change.
