Focus Statement
As the body of Christ, we are called to celebrate the diverse ways God is reflected in each and every person.
Point of Relation
I am a huge comic book and graphic novel fan.
Shocker, right?!?!?
In particular, I am a huge DC Comic fan.
My favorite character of all time is Batman.
There’s so much there that I can relate to...
The struggle to move past a traumatic past...
and the depression and anxiety that produces.
The struggle to not let one’s own demons…
their own hurts, fears and hang ups...
bring them down a bad path.
The struggle to rise up out of the ashes of pain, fear and suffering...
to embrace one’s fears…and to use them to propel us to do good...
to stand up for justice and to make the world a better place...
even if just slightly.
Granted, I can’t relate to being a billionaire and having endless resources at my disposal...
Still, I find Bruce Wayne/Batman to be a very, very relatable character.
With that said, I have come to love other heroes too.
In fact, one of my more favorite DC Comics movies as of late...
was Zach Snyder’s Justice League.
In that, you have Batman form an alliance with others who are much different than him, in order to save the world from annihilation.
Others such as the loner Aquaman...
Who is not much of a people person.
Then there’s Cyborg, a cranky.
moody teenager who was killed in an accident...
In particular, I am a huge DC Comic fan.
and his scientist father pieced him back together to use him as a weapons accident.
Not the kind of dad that typically wins father of the year award.
Then there’s the nerdy young adult, Barry Allen, also known as the Flash.
He’s a somewhat immature, but brilliant kid who was struck by an electrical force
that rearranged his atoms and gave him the power to run at tremendous speeds…
so fast that he can actually break through the plane of the multiverse and jump into alternate realities.
But Barry is also broken.
His mother was killed and his father wrongfully sent to jail for her murder...
And he desperately wants to clear his father’s name.
Then there’s Diana Prince, an Amazonian warrior and demigod,
Who has chosen to live in the world of people so that she can contribute to making it a just and safer world.
She, of course, is also known as Wonder Woman.
My favorite character of all time is Batman.
Finally, there’s Clark Kent or Superman, who is an alien from Krypton…who’s on earth because his parents sent him there to avoid dying in the planet’s destruction.
He and Batman have a rocky relationship, but Batman has come to appreciate Superman because of his honestly, his loyalty, and commitment to justice.
Ironically, though he is not a human…he almost makes the ideal human being...
bearing a lot of qualities (minus the obvious stuff) similar to Jesus.
Anyway, Bruce Wayne assembled this team because, though often a loner, he knew he couldn’t do this alone.
There’s so much there that I can relate to...
His unique skill sets weren’t enough.
He needed to be one piece in a larger puzzle…
and he would have to lay his hangups aside…
to be that piece and invite others in.
The struggle to move past a traumatic past...
Each member of the Justice League turned out to be essential in their own unique way...
and the depression and anxiety that produces.
And through Bruce Wayne’s humility…and the teams collaboration…the world was saved.

their own hurts, fears and hang ups...

Things to Consider
Many people struggle with issues of self-esteem or self-worth.
We commonly compare ourselves to others, thinking others are better than us in some way—smarter, more talented, more beautiful, etc.—
but God has created each of us to be unique and special.
