God and Mickey Mouse? Yup. We’re going there… 

Last month, I explored how the gathered Church can be good medicine for everyone, having read The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by M.D. Bessel van der Kolk. I suggested that the Church has a particular good to offer those who have experienced both big and little 'T' trauma - which is sadly so commonplace in our broken world and fractured relationships. 

This month, I want to lead us to a place where we can receive abundant joy, happiness and a welcome to a different kind of relationship. The question is, am I talking of being a Christian, or going to Disney World? Or both?
