Atlanta Mission provides care through a Christ-centered, trauma-informed lens and is committed to providing the resources and tools that are needed. Healing individuals and families is the first step in building strong communities.
Tim Keller said something to me in 2006 that I think about several times a day.
"We are exposed to so much brokenness in the city,
we must constantly expose our hearts and minds to beauty."
It never occurred to me to use beauty as a form of resistance. Changed my life.
What if life is so heavy because it’s meant to make us stronger by lifting it every day, so that when we finally drop it and stretch and take a breath, we suddenly might see how our souls had been made beautiful by the pure weight of it—lithe and tough and ready for eternity?
In cognitively oriented societies, insight can seem like the most valuable outcome of therapy, when really transformation is occurring through the process of allowing ourselves to be cared for. When parts of us do not have to go away for us to be loved, it rewires our brains.
