Lack can be real, but hyperawareness creates scarcity
Where do we see it in individuals, families, and the church?
(and what's the result)
1 fear and shame
2 hyperawareness and fixation v awareness of what we need
3 tucking in rather than connecting
4 never satisfied, running on empty
Lack as an individual
What dynamics play into our experience of lack v enough?
What areas did we experience a sense of lack in our family of
origin?
Lack in community
Where is lack surfacing in your church, workplace, or other
organization – is creativity and/or brainstorming allowed?
What has God given us here?
What is it that He has given us that is enough?
What does God say about lack?
Jesus in the Gospels
Philippians 4:9-13

How do we combat lack?
Practice of enough – You are enough. I am enough. He is enough.
