Hope This Helps: Vulnerability and Relationship

Hope This Helps (HTH) is a series where fellow youth workers share resources they’ve found helpful in ministry.  Of course, some things work in some churches and not in others.  But, as always, hope this helps.

Vulnerability is at the core of the Christian faith. One can only come to Christ through the vulnerable act of confessing sin and admitting utter impotence in the way of salvation. I have walked through this twenty-minute talk about the dynamics of vulnerability, worth and healthy relationships. Brene Brown does not use Christian language in the talk, but the concepts resemble many biblical principles.
