Summer Mixtape 2
In her message, Jocelyn reflects on the deep ache of suffering and exclusion—particularly for people with disabilities—and contrasts it with God’s original vision of shalom, a peace marked by wholeness, justice, and belonging. Drawing on Scripture, theology, and her own experience with chronic pain, she affirms that while suffering is an inevitable part of life, it was never meant to be this way. Through stories like the bleeding woman and Zacchaeus, Jocelyn shows how Jesus restores not just bodies, but relationships and dignity, offering a fuller picture of healing. She invites us to be active participants in God’s work of restoration by holding space for pain, pursuing justice, building community, seeking peace through Christ, and celebrating every glimpse of shalom we witness in a broken world.
