Confession
Holding out on God, friends, and family when it comes to confession is a little like holding back puke. There’s a good reason for the involuntary reflex of vomiting. Whatever it is on the inside that is making us sick needs to come out.
However, too often we withhold the truth from those we love, and the tension mounts. Unfortunately, unlike puking, confession is totally voluntary. Therefore, like a balloon being blown up to the point of breaking, we wait to the last possible moment. Then we “fess up.”
But, confession is not only about telling God our sins, it is also about professing our common truths.

- Have you ever had to “hold someone’s hair back?” Describe (politely).
- Describe stress or anxiety that you have experienced.
- What are some things that we confess/profess together?
