During the medieval times, a rule called the "Right of Sanctuary" allowed a warring team that knew it was in danger of defeat to move into the sanctuary of the church for safety. However, in our modern culture, people perceive the church as an unsafe place to work through their own personal battles. In May 2008, author Anne Jackson asked a simple question on her blog: "What's one thing you feel like you can't say in church?" Hundreds of people responded. "I'm addicted to porn, and I'm a mom"; "I'm a pastor, and I think I might be gay"; "I feel like I can't talk about the poor in my church!"; "I struggle with depression, and I'm afraid to tell you"; "I had an abortion"; "I'm having an affair." This session will share profound confessions of both church leaders and attendees. We'll look at the common denominator of why people feel they can't talk about certain things in the church. And we'll talk about what we can do in our own lives to encourage and cultivate a culture where confession is encouraged, so that together, we can live whole and healed lives
