Is It God’s Will That I Willingly Suffer Abuse?
Morning friend, A week or so ago after one of our public teachings on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, someone e-mailed me a question. I asked her if I could answer it here and she said, “Please do.” She had asked her pastor how to handle her angry spouse and her pastor’s answer is a good example of why you need…
Navigating Self-Doubt When Leaving an Emotionally Destructive Marriage
Hello! It is beginning to look a bit like spring in most areas of the country by now. Though there has been snow in recent days, the crocuses and daffodils are springing up in my neighborhood. I am looking forward to sunshine and warm weather, and yet I know, there is likely to be more flurries before the month is…
Divorce Is Hard Too. Is It Bad?
Morning friend, I’m going through a good hard this month. Our kitchen, which is 25 years old, is being torn down and remodeled. As I write, I’m sitting in my bedroom listening to saws and hammers tear down our cabinets and remove flooring.

How Do You Let Go of Who You Consider to Be “Your Person”?
Hello friends! The Lenten season is here. As we prepare for the resurrection story, Lent invites us to remember where the past has brought us and to consider what the future holds. As we walk through this season with truth, openness, conviction, compassion, and trust in the goodness of God, sorrow gives way to joy. In many ways, Lent and…
Why Won’t He Give Me A Simple Yes Or No Answer?
Morning friend, I want to give you an exercise to try this week. Ask yourself what feelings you would like to feel. When I asked myself that question recently, I thought, “I’d love to feel more peace and calm, be more thankful, curious, and have loving, compassionate feelings.” In the past, I’ve asked myself what virtues I’d like to have,…

Morning friend, I’m grateful that so many of you found the letter to your pastor or church leader helpful. If you end up using it and get a response, please let me know how it was received. Not everyone has ears to hear or eyes to see. But by their response, you will learn what your next right choice might…
A Letter to Church Leaders About Emotional Abuse
Morning friend, I just finished speaking at the 2025 Restore Conference that was held to talk about church harm. It was incredible, and I thought that perhaps for this week, I would gift you with a letter I wrote a while back on behalf of a dear sister. She was being harmed by her church who told her she could…
