  • My Story, Our Freedom: A Mother’s Journey to Break Generational Chains

    ​Our children. They are a gift from God, aren’t they? And as a mother, I have to confess, the greatest struggle of my life hasn’t been about them—it’s been about me. It has been the relentless, soul-deep work of getting myself right for them. Of actively, fiercely breaking the curses and dismantling the chains that… Read more

  • God’s Love Made Tangible: Lessons from My Spiritual Mother

    You know that feeling when you’re all grown up, but your mom still calls to make sure you ate? That’s love, but it’s also a sign that her job’s not quite done. It’s a bit like our relationship with the church. We often think of the church as just a building, but what if she’s… Read more

  • Enduring the Vessel

    Sometimes the simplest truths hit the hardest. We feel them in our bones, in our weary muscles, and in the scars that tell stories we don’t always want to share. A statement I’ve carried with me, one that feels profoundly true, is: ​”Inflictions to the flesh are just that. The flesh was made to be… Read more

  • A Cup of Truth from the Humble Beginnings

    ​Pour yourself a cup, because this is from the soul.

  • The Body Remembers: Finding Grace in Our Wounds

    Life moves on. The mind and soul might begin to heal, but the body—that’s a different story. It holds onto the past, a silent witness to every hurt and every wrong. For those of us who have walked through deep pain, this is a truth we feel in our bones. We can pray, go to… Read more

  • From the Pits of Hell to a Place of Hope

    To anyone suffering in the here and now, I have some good news for you: these days will pass. You will look back on this time and say, “What a trial that was!” I know this because I have been there. I was at a point of suicide, with a path that looked gloomy and… Read more

  • The Uneven Ledger

    What she went through was nothing compared to what she did to me. But who is keeping the score? This question gets to the heart of what I’ve come to call “the uneven ledger” the biased way we account for our relationships. People tend to forget what they do to others, but they never forget… Read more

  • Unpacking the Myth of the “Helpful” Hand

    Have you ever had someone do something for you, only to feel like you’ve been saddled with a silent debt? They act like their help came from the goodness of their heart, but in the subtle, unspoken moments, their true intentions reveal themselves. Maybe it’s the way they treat your children, the burdens they conveniently… Read more
