JD Vance calls people who believe someone can transition “damn fools.” Is this really the kind of leadership we need?

People deserve dignity, not ridicule.

Carl Lentz recently released another book, and I wanted to share my thoughts on his latest interview, his message, and the direction he seems to be heading.

What do you think about Carl Lentz and his attempt at a new chapter? Can people change, and does that mean they should return to leadership?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Can someone genuinely change without returning to a position of leadership? Is forgiveness the same as restoring trust? I want to hear your thoughts.

Self-awareness has left the chat. 😂

We all know someone like this… but have we ever been that person ourselves? 🤔

Have you encountered people like this, or are you willing to admit you’ve been one of them? Let me know in the comments! 👇

When protecting the church becomes more important than protecting the people, we’ve lost our way.

Faith should never require silence. Accountability is NOT persecution.

Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can offer someone isn’t advice. It’s our presence. Being heard, seen, and understood can make all the difference. Are we truly listening, or just waiting to respond?

Regardless of what you’ve been through, I get how difficult it can be to navigate the different forms of trauma. And I know firsthand how so many of these experiences can be connected, affecting how we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.

But here’s what I want you to remember: What happened to you doesn’t have to define who you become.

I just want to encourage you today to keep moving forward, even when it’s difficult.

Get the therapy and support you need. Surround yourself with people who genuinely see you, hear you, and accept you for who you are. Learn to let go of the things and relationships that drain your energy, diminish your self-esteem, or make you question your worth.

And please, remind yourself of this as often as you need to:

You are lovable. You are worthy. You are enough.

Even if nobody else tells you.

Your story isn’t over, and there’s still so much meaning you can create in your life and in the lives of others.

You go to therapy thinking you’re just going to talk about stress… and suddenly you’re unpacking decades of buried emotions. 😂

Sometimes the breakthrough comes when you least expect it. Mine was earth-shattering.

If you’ve experienced that moment in therapy, share your story in the comments!
