Worship as a Sanctuary

To speak clearly in an age of anxiety, the church must resist both manipulating people’s anxiety and the temptation to ignore it. Instead, we must offer what I’m calling “a framework for healing worship.”

J. Michael Jordan

A healing approach [to worship] can help to form worshipers who understand the world as it is, accept and embrace that world, and engage with it in a way that honors God.
