“This is about more than politics. Politics is the evidence of collapse. The Evangelical Industrial Complex (churches, para churches, media, institutions, etc.) needs an overhaul. Six months ago I didn’t have an Instagram following and then this reel (with different music) went viral and here you all are! 😂👏 You guys, it’s been a week. (And yes, I got caught in the rain.) A LONG week that was also super full and I haven’t had a minute of extra time to create anything. So instead, here’s a little bit about me. In case you were wondering where I got the ideas from my stickers. 😆 Some were from great authors and others were from not as great men. 😬 I’ll be honest, it’s taken a lot of work to rethink my beliefs around emotions and faith. Nopety-NOPE! Been there, done that, not doing it again. Many thanks to @bethallisonbarr and her books for the final push in setting me free. 😁👏 Seriously though—can we get a new timeline? So here’s a story for you from the cult days. 🤣 (And I totally spelled “weird” wrong. I promise that has more to do with long days at work than it does with being homeschooled.) If God really believes in sweeping people’s sin issues under the rug to protect His name, wouldn’t He have left certain stories out of the Bible? Stories like David & Bathsheba, or Samson & Delilah? If God really feels that it is vitally important to hide issues for the sake of Christ, why did Ananias and Sapphira die publicly?

    The Value of Losing Our Faith

    I’m not sure what I believe these days. I think I’m losing faith. I don’t even like going to church. I don’t know how to be a Christian any more. Scarily honest statements. Beautifully raw. Terrifying to admit even to ourselves. If you said them to the wrong person, they might have freaked out. And you may have gotten an earful of Christianese — those secret phrases and well known statements that only make sense to other Church People. There may have been panic on their faces. They might have interrupted you with Bible verses and prayer chains. I’m sorry! Perhaps you have kept your doubts and questions to yourself…

    Our Cranky Hearts are Leading Us Home

    This is the final part of a three part series. Yesterday I left off with this sentence: “So where do we go from here? How do we find enough faith to seek when we just feel tired, and cranky, and cynical?” That’s exactly where we are going to pick up. Fair warning, this might be a rant! 🙂 Don’t be ashamed of your doubt and questions about God. Or afraid of your cynicism and the snarkiness that simmers just beneath the surface when it comes to organized religion. Or feel guilt because of your depression and/or disillusionment with Christianity. Can I be honest? I am so over American Christianity. I literally…
