Anyone who knows former student pastor and Bethany member Kelli Manning might be surprised to know that she was once hugely self-conscious. Well, she didn't manage, understand, or grow through it on her own. It required caring and collective curiosity. Preaching from Numbers 22, she encouraged us likewise to journey together:

"When people ignore or don't know to look for repeated warning signs...they keep walking on a dangerously lonely path. Seeing the warning signs is one thing, but allowing someone else to help navigate them is transformational."
