| Our wounding and God's grace excerpt from The Meaning of Sex: A New Christian Ethos
The truth is, we all wear masks. Somehow in life, we grow up learning that it’s not really safe to tell the truth about ourselves. While our Christian families, communities, and churches place a high value on good behavior, they too often neglect a core part of our being: our emotions. When we cannot feel our emotions honestly and completely, we get stuck. We become afraid. We hide. We put on a mask.
Most of us hide. You might not think you are hiding, but that is probably because you don’t know that you have been programmed, or conditioned, to hide. Your “programming” was so subtle that you do it without even realizing it. Hiding becomes an unconscious behavior we develop to remain safe, and it usually begins in early childhood.
