If you ever feel alone and out of touch, I’d show up. I’d show up.

When male pastors call on us to recover something called “biblical manhood” I suspect they're not thinking of the silent, loyal Joseph submitting himself humbly to his wife’s God-given calling. [Image by Matt Chinworth]

Sorry for my delayed response I was busy breaking generational cycles, surviving a global pandemic, watching the fall of America and trying to stay on top of laundry

I used to be a pastor and tried this. Didn't work. But it has been used upon me too. Didn't work. Have you experienced this?

As a woman, the only life events society celebrates are when I become engaged, married, or pregnant. What about traveling solo, getting a Masters, paying off debt, buying a home, writing a book, founding a company, getting sober? I want these celebrated too.

If you feel lost right now. If you feel behind. If you feel forgotten. I promise you’re not alone. I promise that you still deserve all the good stuff. You have so much to offer. It’s so good that you’re alive. We need you here, we really do.

This teacher asked students to look into a box to see a photo of her favorite student – and they were all stunned.
