Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need

At the very core of wholeheartedness is vulnerability and worthiness; facing uncertainty, exposure and emotional risks, and knowing that I am enough. Brené Brown, Ph.D.

Shame Vulnerability Worthiness Courage Authenticity Beautiful – be you ‘til you’re full

Discussion Starter: Share your experiences of belonging. Reflect on: Shame Vulnerability Worthiness Courage Authenticity Wholeheartedness

God is bigger than any person’s ability to hurt me. I will not let the fear of hurt steal my life. I will love again. I will trust again. I will be vulnerable. I will be authentic. I will not let shame imprison me. I will not live in an ice castle. I was born to be in covenant. I was born to be in community. I will have ownership with a people. I am in the family of God. Amen.

Things that belonging requires: I carry the family name. I am a Christian. I am not an orphan. I belong. I am known. He knows the number of hairs on my head. I belong. I am accepted. I have a people. I am not nameless and faceless. I belong. I am valued. I am significant. I belong. I have shared ownership. I have a place. I belong. I have shared responsibility. I have a role to play. I belong. I have common core values. I have shared values. I belong. I have a common vision. I have a common purpose. I belong.

Discussion Starter: Reflect on the Judas Spirit. Have I ever been a consumer and not a contributor? What changed? Reflect on, “The challenge of covenant is this: to the depth that you love, is the depth to which you can be hurt.” Am I willing to risk it?

Pope Saint John Paul the Great spoke in 1994 to the Catholic Fraternity of Charismatic Communities.

Romans 12:4-6 Gifts that differ according to the grace given to us.

What’s my purpose? Where do I fit in?

Saint Paul on the Mystery of the Church

“apostle” – encourages the supernatural aspects of community life (Presence of God, Worship of God, Glory of God) “prophet” – cares for the word of God and encourages the community to listen for His voice “evangelist” – invites into a relationship with Jesus and the community “pastor” – cares for the community “teacher” – instructs the community
