make this your common practice: confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed
james 5:16, the message
there’s something about saying it out loud. confessing what’s really going on inside—sins we’ve committed, thoughts we’re struggling with, shameful things that keep us separated from God and each other. although we believe you can go directly to God with these struggles, sometimes the wall between He and us feels too big. but we have to start somewhere.
that’s what the refuge confessional is about—a place to begin the journey of saying out loud “here’s where I’m at, what I’ve done, what I’m tempted to do” so that it takes some of the power away from the Evil One, who wants us to think that we are losers and keeps us stuck in shame.
God’s word says “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 john 1:9).
if you’d like to say out loud your confession, fill out the form. confessions will all be posted anonymously, but if you’d like someone from the refuge to get in contact with you to share more, please click on that box. confessions will stay posted for 30 days. remember, you are not the only one out there struggling. we are all in the same boat in different ways and we hope you now can feel less alone.
