things I’m trying to remove from my life as a Christian woman... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I must admit, despite knowing that I should seek guidance from the Word of God to define my womanhood, I frequently find myself considering worldly narratives for definition. Why do I carry opinions of myself that God never spoke about me? And why am I operating from these beliefs? Sigh. Living in a modern world, rife with opinions about women’s bodies, who we should be, and how we should show up in the world, God gently invites us to examine what we’ve been carrying. Lately, He has been showing
“The Church” doesn’t know what to do with its older single people… (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“I don’t think the church knows what to do with its older single people.”This was my opening line to a TikTok video that garnered an overwhelming response. Many people agreed with my thoughts, and others disagreed. I found the online discourse interesting. I will dive into it here.Whether we want to believe this or not, our culture and society are deeply marriage and family-centric.

Indifference has a Polite Face, but a Sinister Heart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Indifference in the church is not loud. It does not always wear a villain’s mask. It slips in as a shrug, averted eyes, a polite silence.

If we are to be faithful, we must name this sinister force and choose otherwise—again and again.Neither Here nor ThereIndifference is a posture more than an action. It is the not-in-my
Forgiveness is a Discipline, not a Legalist Excuse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve noticed that the “Church” sometimes talks about forgiveness in such a way that if it’s not something we pull out like a sword or band-aid and use immediately, we’re doing it wrong.“YOU MUST FORGIVE!”As if we can just slay our enemies with forgiveness and become righteous in the process.As if it's an easy band-aid to slap on every wound.Forgiveness is undoubtedly straightforward, yet it’s incredibly nuanced in a delicate manner.And before you say, “Well, we’re commanded to forgive, or the Fa
Underneath the armor you wear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We wear pain like we wear clothes. We don’t even realize that we’re doing it. And sometimes we’re able to wear something else that blurs the pain into the background for a while.But most days, we don't take these clothes off.They are always on. Just there. Eventually, these pieces of fabric (this pain) take on a whole different feeling and posture—a sort of permanence. And as the years go by, the pain morphs from loose clothing into armor.Everything feels fine at first, but then something starts
