@kkdumez ‘s new book hits bookstores and mailboxes on Tuesday. I can’t wait to see how it opens eyes, makes people think, and hopefully connects some dots. A new Sunday, a new Subst*ck. In this one I wrestle with some thoughts from @kkdumez new book, explore the idea of holiness theology, and remind all of us that nuance is important and maybe the journey is the point. Figured I’d jump on a trend I liked. 😆 What’s your basic five year plan these days? It was fun to meet someone who follows me, but also unexpected to be recognized. 😂 I’m glad my stickers are making people laugh and having an impact. 🤩 Thoughts about evangelicals and our inability to accept critique. We tend to get defensive and assume that we are being condemned, and then because we are so sure we are right and everyone else is wrong, we think God is being condemned. Christy, why are you still a Christian? It’s a question I get pretty often especially after people hear about my decade in a Christian cult, the spiritual abuse my husband and I endured at a normal evangelical church, and the multiple seasons of faith deconstruction and reconstruction I’ve been through. It’s Sunday! Which means a new essay on Subst*ck. 😊 Progression of one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen. 😲😊 The sun came out from behind the clouds just long enough to be seen and then disappeared into the lake. Sights like these solidify my belief in a Creator who loves beauty, loves us, and gives us abundant grace even in a broken world. A year ago I opened my Etsy store with five stickers pushing back on “biblical womanhood” ideas. I designed these stickers in a laundry mat on a camping trip earlier in the summer. After opening the store, I went camping with my family. Then I watched as the orders poured in. It was overwhelming and exciting!

    Here We Go Again

    Another well-known Christian influencer, raised in church and the son of a pastor, has come forward to say that he no longer believes in God. John Steingard, lead vocalist of the band Hawk Nelson shared via Instagram how his doubts and questions have brought him to this place. Here we go again. If you’ve been around this blog or listened to my podcast, then you will know that I have no judgement for people who walk away from Christianity. Doubt, and questions, and lost faith are legitimate experiences and can be incredibly valuable. No, I have no problem with people who walk away, but I have a huge problem with…

    The God Who Wants to Be Found – Pt. 1

    Is God truly loving? And if He is, then how can He condemn millions of people to hell? If God is really good, then what about all the people in the world who have lived and died without ever hearing the gospel? How can people be responsible for their sin if they never knew anything different? What if they were sincerely following their religion? Shouldn’t that count? If God condemns people to hell who aren’t responsible, then He can’t be good and loving. He must be angry and horrible. Who wants to believe in that kind of God anyway? “The space between doubting God’s goodness and doubting His existence is…

    Rediscovering Jesus – Rediscovering the Bible (Part 1)

    When people of other religions become Christians, they leave behind their old religious books, the Quran, the Book of Mormon, etc. and start reading the Bible. It seems obvious. But, how do you leave behind the Bible and then start reading the Bible? How do you locate the truth when it’s supposedly found in the book that was used to tell you lies? How do you unravel lies about the God of Christianity without leaving Christianity altogether? These are legitimate and difficult questions. Unfortunately, the Bible can be used to say just about anything. Grab a verse here and a verse there, or just half of a verse, and you…
