In the past six weeks, my life has literally turned on its head. Almost everything we thought we knew about our future has changed.

But this is a story of hope and peace and God showing up in so many miraculous ways.

With all the heaviness that has overtaken the world in the last week, I thought it might be a good time to talk about the reality and goodness of God. And this story, while it is still evolving, does just that.

So, today, I invite you to walk with me down my own sacred version of Parley Street.

The firestorm of controversy surrounding women and their role in God's Church and Kingdom has, once again, been brewing on social media. The conversation is heated, as always, with personal attacks and angry defensiveness playing center stage.

While this is nothing new, this latest installment has encouraged me to ponder this question:

As covenant women of God, what is our role in this conversation? Let's talk about it!

As a new year gets underway (I know I'm late to the party!), I have been reflecting on 2024, which was unexpectedly challenging in several ways. In this vulnerable episode, I get to the heart of those challenges, the deep questions that have surfaced as a result, and what this means for my life and the future of my work.

And, as many unanswered questions as I have, I also share a few things I KNOW (about Jesus, His gospel, rampant deception on social media and how to protect ourselves, the vital role of women, following the prophet, and keeping faith strong amid SO much opposition).

Listen in for all the details!
