If you have a history of relationships with broken trust, trying to trust people again can feel like an attempt to climb Mount Everest. . . If this has been your story, most likely you want to crawl into a hole and hide - vowing to never trust again. I SO GET IT. 🙋 . . In this episode, I share my own story of broken trust and expose the dark loneliness I landed in after closing myself off to wanting to trust anyone again. I break down why we stop trusting people (including God) and offer steps to heal and create lasting, healthy trusting relationships ✨ . . You are not meant to live a surface life with surface relationships, fearing anyone getting close. You are meant to be fully seen, fully known and fully loved.

"You are not the boss of others - you are only the boss of you". This is something I tell my girls ALL the time. But, sometimes I need the reminder myself. 🤦‍♀️ . . As much as I want to control the outcome of how others respond, it simply is not in my control. As much as I want to, I can't make people understand, agree, approve or even like me. It's just simply not in my power. . . But, what is in my power is the ability to control myself. I can choose to be kind, loving and honest. I can choose the freedom of truth telling. I can choose to be brave and say hard things - even if that hard thing is scary. . . We can do ALL of these and even more because of the power that rumbles and dwells inside us. But, we must let go of how others respond. Because you are only the boss of you ❤ . . #christianblogger #faithjourney #podcaster #progressivechristianity #wecandohardthings #spiritualjourney Snuggles with this sweet girl today. 🐶 . . #puppylove #faithjourney #christianblogger #podcaster #progressivechristianity #lazysundays The holidays can bring a sense of loneliness and emptiness at times. This is the reminder that this season is not celebrating the perfect, those in power or those in the majority. This is a celebration of those on the outside, the marginalized and the powerless. Standing with and for the outsiders, the misfits and the forgotten: this is the theme of Jesus's birth, life and death. . . . In this episode, I explore the wilderness journey and the striking similarities that Mary faced during her own wilderness. I also dig into the genealogy of the four (rather scandalous) women the Bible says Jesus comes from; all of it painting a rather different picture than the one I often heard about during Christmas.
