The Circle Unbroken

The Circle Unbroken

 

What divides you from people you used to love? Or maybe even people you still love? The wounds of broken relationships cut deep, and grief or hurt can sever the strongest bonds. You pull away to avoid further injury. Or you build walls to protect yourself from harm. Loving turns to hating, or at least that’s what you’re saying out loud, because it’s too painful to speak the ache in your heart. 

So you laugh, avoid, deny, eat, drink, binge-watch, to convince the world and yourself that you’re fine. But you’re not. And in your most honest moments, you admit it. 

We all wrestle with broken relationships in our own ways. Meet Mavis Powell, the young woman severed from her family in The Circle Unbroken, trapped in a cycle of loss and regret. And no one, least of all Mavis, is willing to step out from the fear or anger that isolates them in order to repair the damage done. 

Come on a journey through despair, to hope, to restoration in The Circle Unbroken. Like any story, like life itself, it is not without pain or loss, for it is life that births our stories. But it offers hope that we, like Mavis, can get through the hurt that once crippled us. Not without scars, maybe, for Jesus himself carries the scars of redemption, but with more strength, more love, more goodness, than we ever thought possible.
