Behind The Scenes: Our Past.

For those of you who don't know, I'm a young adult Pastor at North Point Church in Toledo, Ohio.

Our young adult community is called SOMA and we are currently in the midst of a series called:
Behind The Scenes: 'the secret lives of almost everyone'.

Our hope is to shed light and hope into the secret, dark corners of our souls like say for instance, our past.

I'll be totally honest, I'm not sure where today's post is supposed to go. I just really had a sense that someone(s) out there needs to see and hear Jeff's video about dealing with his past (Video after jump).

On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being it rarely ever crosses my mind and 10 being it's like a giant weight on my shoulders, how much do you think your past affects you?

Last week we talked about how much words affect us. Today I want us to see how things or people in our past affect and shape us. Please answer the question above and then tell me...

What part of Jeff's story could you relate to?

P:S- You can listen to the SOMA sermon (behind the scenes part 1 by Ryan Snow) that followed this video online at www.thesomacommunity.org. Really one of the better sermons I've ever heard about dealing with the past.
