Kaitlyn from LEAD: Being Vulnerable in Small Groups

Kaitlyn from LEAD is a member of St. Joseph Parish in Conway, Arkansas – which is in the Diocese of Little Rock. She will be a senior this fall at Greenbrier High School.

In her testimony this afternoon, she got very vulnerable with all of us about a difficult family situation she experienced, and how she felt a great deal of personal guilt because of how the situation played out.

What brought Kaitlyn a tremendous amount of freedom was opening up with her small group at a Steubenville youth conference.

Some of the awesome things Kaitlyn shared included:

“I chose to make a conscious effort to be open and vulnerable with my peers around me.”

“While His plans to heal my family were unconventional, they were perfect.”

“God’s plans are not my plans; they are much better.”

“Never miss the opportunity to be open and vulnerable with the people around you.”

“Don’t be afraid to share what you’re struggling with; it might just bring healing to yourself and to the people around you.”
