Today, on this Morning I Went to Church and Learned Something about how to live, and now I will share it with you in way that, should you believe or not believe in God, you too might learn something: Vulnerability. When I saw that the pastor person (this time, a giant ex-rugby player with a thick Welsh accent who works for an anti-human trafficking non-profit, Oasis) would talk about Vulnerability, I instantly assumed he would address the thing that I feel the moment I step inside of church, or what it’s like to try on underwear, or how I feel whenever I realize something terrible about myself that I know is true.

But instead, he spoke of  being physically vulnerable, more specifically, the disciples being instructed to, well, go out and disciple, with no bags / sandals / money. Or, to update, houses and 401K’s.  We feel like we need to build protective walls of money and success around us to provide security, when really, it’s when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable that we can really connect with other people. It was really liberating to hear, as it’s hard to not constantly panic about finances and security, and this panic can easily warp your priorities. Well said, giant ex-rugby player with thick Welsh accent. I hear you, and I also think that Humans should not be Trafficked.
