Vulnerability and a Wholehearted Faith

Written By Rose Hardy

back to Issue 10

“Not being vulnerable has a high cost of hiding who we are in order to fit in, suppressing our gifts, and allowing only superficial relationships between each other, Jesus, and God. Being vulnerable allows us to fully be who God created us to be. To know the peace which passes all understanding, to be able to confess our sins to one another in a safe and loving environment; and to carry one another’s burdens.”

Rose Hardy

Rosemary, or Rose, as I prefer to be called, lives in Chesterfield, close to the beautiful Peak District in the UK. I have a love for plants, flowers and gardening. I get to play in other people's gardens and people even give me money to do so!

I have a passion to see people grow and flourish just as gardens do. I believe church should be an inclusive and diverse place, encouraging all to be their full and courageous selves. My interest in psychology and psychotherapy plays a part in enabling such growth in myself and others.

Sometimes I get to explore my creative side with materials such as wool, clay, wood, fabric, and words. Other times I might fight dragons, solve puzzles or search for shiny things in video games.

My ecclesial home is Dronfield, UK.
