One of the most fascinating insights into the early church is a correspondence between Pliny the Younger, governor of a province called Bithynia (modern Turkey) from 111-113 AD and the Emperor Trajan.

Pliny tells Trajan about an effort to "out" Christians, with anonymous documents listing out names. Pliny disliked this whisper campaign and was inclined to be lenient to the Christians. All they needed to do was to sacrifice to the gods and they could go free. 1/n

Saint Sebastian was an early Christian saint and martyr. He was tied to a tree and shot with arrows, though this did not kill him. This handmade collage updates San Sebastian to show the beauty of his martyrdom.

Thinking today about how to engage a peer for their , , and potentially behaviors both observed and overheard from other sections of their .

Their fatal flaw may be the utter devaluation of self, but with a burning compulsion for validation.
They throw everything at any volunteer/leadership position, but intentionally overdo it and are frequently altered.

But how might I address their and tendencies?
