"I used to say things like, 'Are you producing fruit?' I was all, 'Where the hell are the bananas?' And now I know that I didn't know what I was talking about."
And we get there late and there are only four of us and there's popcorn and Gabby reads the Bible to us and asks us what we think.
And we swear and we talk about our jobs and how nervous we are. We toss around our theology. We toss around our identity. We toss around our problems.
"I think I've been depressed for the past two years."
"My life is a total shitshow. This is the hardest thing that has ever happened to me."
"My boyfriend and I have never had sex. We almost did once. It was the worst day of my life."
"My counselor handed me this list of anxiety traits, and I have every single one. I'm embarrassed."
And then we laugh and we pray about it.
