Recovering From Care Ministry Burnout
I giggled at that photo above because that represents me at times. I have the most comfy sheets—like blanket sheets. They make me feel relaxed and cozy. And if anyone tries to talk to me, I’m like, “No, can’t you see that my hair is a boundary and prohibiting any...
The Debate About SBC Ruling Exposed The Real Disease
If you are aware of the SBC debate, you may want to skip the section called “Backstory,” although it shares my part in posting about the new ruling. Backstory Before I get into it, here is a little backstory for those who are unaware of what has been going on...
Can Women Be Called And Function As Pastors?
I’m naturally a peacemaker. At some point, I was a people-pleaser who would sacrifice myself for others' sake and call it peacemaking. But as I stand firmly in my late 50s, I find a little less stamina for some conversations, debates, and nonsense. Maybe it’s...
Minor Prophets Podcast Exposes More Cover-up: Jonathan Welton and Danny Silk
Did you know that before ministry, I was an actress and singer? My major in college was Musical Theatre. I was the lead in a Broadway Tour, I sang backups for Perry Como on his Christmas tour (if you are too young to know him, Google him), and was the voice on several...
Finding Healing After Spiritual Abuse
I hosted the Spiritual Abuse Summit and had the privilege of interviewing 15 experts on religious trauma. I also shared my story and what I’ve learned on the journey toward healing. Spiritual abuse is a topic that so often goes unspoken, and yet its impact runs deep....
Finding Biblical Rest in a Restless World
Biblical rest can seem elusive but is necessary to understand in a world that applauds hustle. One of my Freedom Coaching clients shared their story about how stuck they felt in life. Nothing was particularly wrong, and life was chugging along. But things were too...
How To Heal From Burnout
I wasn't okay. A friend said, "I think you're in burnout." I had always been an overcomer. I pushed through a heavy ministry workload and was applauded for my resilience. I forgave the worst offenses and carried on with a smile. I waited patiently and expected God's...
How To Forgive When It Hurts
How to Forgive When It Hurts I was getting a massage and face down on the table when the therapist said, "Whatever this is, you need to let it go." I knew immediately what she meant. But how would I stop holding on to the hurt I felt by such a betrayal? I loved him,...
Calm Anxiety With God’s Presence
When an anxious heart rises within you, I want you to know that God isn't disappointed in your lack of peace or inability to calm your soul. Calm Anxiety Scripture is timeless and can speak to your situation. Even in Jesus' day, the early Christians needed the same...
How To Give Thanks When Life Is Hard
The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song, I give thanks to him.” Psalm 28:7 I love the sentiment of the celebration of Thanksgiving in the United States. Even if you don't live here, it reminds...
Why I Still Love The Church After Church Hurt
I was on a podcast recently, and they asked me how I healed from Church hurt. I replied, "I was also healed from church hurt by the body of Christ." In other abusive situations like domestic abuse, people can't stay, expect to change someone, and hope to find healing...
Prophetic Dreams for the Church
Prophetic Dreams for the Church in March 2024. I usually don't post my dreams because God is usually speaking to me about me. But now, I feel as if I'm supposed to release these to the body of Christ as a rare corporate prophetic word. If prophetic words are new to...
Stories Of Abuse From Within The Church
I never hit publish on this blog post from 2019: Stories of Abuse From Within the Church. I forgot about it until I saw it in my drafts today (Feb 2024). I think at the time, I was hesitant to share it because I had a lot of questions. What will it stir up? What...
Abide In God’s Presence
Abide. That is my main motivation in this season. I asked God to show me more of Himself. Lately, that's my whole prayer. Yes, I care about how I can serve others but I just want to know God more intimately. I was reading I Corinthians 13. It's tempting to read...
