And it takes time and it takes a lot of work and both of the people have to be on board, but, but.
there is healing there on offer from God.
Part of the failure of a lot of Christianity broadly is that an environment has been created, I think unintentionally, where people are afraid to open up and even talk about things like that with anyone.
It's sort of, we go to church on Sunday, we put on our Sunday best.
We all act like everything's fine when it's definitely not fine.
Yeah.
And I say to people about confession, because especially if they've come into the Orthodox Church and they're from a background that doesn't do it.
Yeah.
There's a lot of trepidation and what is this and I'm scared and how can I tell you these things and whatever.
You're a priest.
I respect you.
I don't want you to know these things.
Right.
And I try and tell them, I'm like, each of us walks through life thinking we're the most disgusting, perverted, weird, you know, disturbed individual to ever walk the planet.
Right.
And if you're actually willing to open up with other people about that, you find out that most of them are dealing with the same stuff.
Yeah.
And struggling with the same things.
and the power of opening up about that in a place that's designed to bring you healing right when we say over and over again in the orthodox church that church is a hospital not a courtroom yeah it's not about finding who's guilty of what right it's about helping people in various stages of woundedness some of them almost dead right trying to help them find healing right and restoration to life
there's incredible power to that, to just that honesty, right.
