Harm experienced by others is not the result of a lack of hypervigilance, ability, or failure on the part of the one harmed. The weight of an individual’s choice to cause harm always rests on the shoulders of the one who chooses to inflict it. The inability to prevent the harmful actions of another does not make the one harmed responsible for those actions.

Attempts to create safety that rests solely on our own hypervigilance will inevitably fall short because they cannot account for everything outside of our control or for our own human limitations, including our need for rest. We therefore need a more secure foundation upon which to place our trust as we seek to steward ourselves and our safety well.

That foundation is found in the One…
🙌🏼who neither sleeps nor slumbers
🙌🏼who restrains evil
🙌🏼who takes what the enemy intended for evil and works it for good
🙌🏼who has secured for us a future where evil, sin, and suffering will be no more.

Because of Him, we are free to pursue wisdom and stewardship without carrying the impossible burden of believing that our safety ultimately depends on our own constant vigilance.

Who are we that the Lord is mindful of us? In ourselves, there is nothing we can proudly hold up as the answer. All our accolades, accomplishments, and victories lie on level ground before Him. It was never about what we achieved or any noble standing we attained in life. He does not love as the world loves, valuing people according to status, merit, or achievement. We are precious to Him because we are His beloved—the ones He has chosen to love.

I highly recommend picking up a copy of “After Church Hurt: Healing in the Care of the Good Shepherd” by Timothy St. John.

This book is both thoughtful and accessible in its length, content, and approach. As someone who has experienced spiritual abuse in a ministry context rather than within a local church, I still found this book deeply helpful and applicable to my own story.

Additionally, as someone who regularly sits with and counsels those impacted by church hurt, I appreciate the way this book tenderly and thoughtfully addresses the profound wounds that can result from being sinned against by those who were entrusted to shepherd and care for God’s flock.

Whether you are personally navigating the aftermath of church hurt or walking alongside someone who is, this is a resource well worth reading.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful and incredible mommas, aspiring mommas, and mommas whose arms are empty while God holds your child. You often do tasks and jobs that go unrecognized or unseen for the true value they bring. You carry unspeakable pain and weight while also holding little hands. In this world, you may feel forgotten, overlooked, or under-appreciated, but God has not forgotten you.

Contrary to the words of a well-known evangelical pastor, the wedding night and everything that follows is not “You stand where I tell you to stand, you wear what I tell you to wear, and you do what I tell you to do.”

Wives are not a blow up dolls. They are daughters of the King - may we treat them as Jesus did and does.

So let’s pick up our Bibles ladies and become proficient in God’s word that we would be able to discern lies from truth.

PS I need an acknowledge an error in my wording on my 7th picture. It would be more accurate to say “Christ is** fully God and Fully man” rather than “was”. The things you miss despite multiple re-reads and don’t notice untill after you post 🤦🏽‍♀️🤪

Lasting hope and peace are not tied to any particular set of circumstances. They are found only as we cling closely to Emmanuel, God with us.

Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy helped me better understand God’s beautiful gift of lament, and I am deeply grateful for how this book introduced me to the topic and helped me make better sense of the many cries of lament we see throughout Scripture—including those from the lips of our precious Lord and Savior.

Strength isn’t stoicism; it is crying out and surrendering ourselves to our strong and ever-present Savior, even when the circumstances of life scream at us to take the reins ourselves.

Your identity is firmly rooted in your relationship with God, not in your success or struggles as a parent. While we cannot control who our children will become, we can entrust them to the Lord and seek to parent in a way that is faithful and reflective of our Savior.
