Notes:
Everyone will experience “it’s complicated” in love, sex, and romance because we’re all flawed.
It’s complicated: Dysfunction, Hurt/Bitterness, Addiction, Moral failure, Health (physical or mental), Divorce, Hardship
Not knowing how to deal with “It’s
complicated” not only leaves us
stuck, it leaves us stuck in a place
that continues to create damage.
● Ignore
● Pretend
● Blame
When we eventually end
up in “it’s complicated” how
do we actually get unstuck?
The modern take was
supposed to be the ultimate
path to our best life
Unfortunately, the research and
science proves the opposite
Just because something is
“good” doesn’t mean it
erases the damage of misuse
How do we get unstuck
when we eventually end
up in “it’s complicated”?
Feeling stuck in marriage
can cause us to feel
separated from God
A man with leprosy came to him
and begged him on his knees,
"If you are willing, you can make
me clean."
Mark 1:40-42
Filled with compassion, Jesus
reached out his hand and
touched the man. "I am willing,"
he said. "Be clean!" Immediately
the leprosy left him and he was
cured. Mark 1:40-42
Jesus is NOT repulsed
Jesus is NOT ashamed
Jesus is NOT begrudging
Jesus is NOT unable
Jesus wholeheartedly
steps into our mess out
of His great love for us
God’s ‘unstuck’ plan:
We Acknowledge the problem
We Admit our part
We Alter our actions
God’s grace and goodness
allows us to address ‘it’s
complicated’ instead of
settling for avoidance
which only keeps us stuck.
