That's actually the holy of holies inside of us, that space only god can fill, or love can fill, or the universe, whatever words you want to use- that there's something bigger than yourself.
What happens when love and community come together to fill the voids in our lives? Pastor Sarah Buteux of First Churches in Northampton sits down with the Northampton Prevention Coalition to discuss this very topic. In this episode, Buteux shares her journey of creating a nurturing environment for her congregation, especially for those grappling with addiction and feelings of shame.
She believes that love and community can heal emotional emptiness and stresses the importance of providing safe spaces for both kids and adults. Buteux also addresses the challenges faith communities face in offering these safe havens and how her church is striving to meet these needs. She talks about the broader role of faith communities in preventing substance use and supporting those in need.
The episode is filled with practical insights on building genuine relationships and fostering a sense of belonging. You'll also hear about the valuable contributions of Northampton Community Television in making this podcast possible. If you're interested in how faith and community can work hand-in-hand to create supportive spaces, this episode is a must-listen.
