“You need to be willing to ‘go there’ with Jesus,” Author Mary DeMuth explains. “So many people aren’t healed because they are afraid to open up the can of worms of their past. I’m here to say, yes it will hurt, but that kind of hurt is what heals.” If we confront and release emotional […]

Courage to Change
Guest post by Karey Kollar He hit me. I deserved it. I can’t trust. The ones you do trust always hurt you. I fought these lies rambling through my mind. Really, I just wanted to be loved and feel safe. I didn’t want to live in fear anymore. Fear has been the driving force […]
Pulse Points
A powerful warrior with a a poet’s heart, King David stands ready to lead us through formidable emotional battles. A graceful guide through desolate land. David faced unfathomable trauma. Abuse. Homelessness. Dislike and slander. Abandonment from his spouse. Adultery. Premature death of a child. Another child was a prodigal. And yet another child, sexually abused. […]

I used to pride myself for my ability to act before he spoke, to “read his mind.” Fear of his cruel wrath forced […]
My Mother’s Hands
Guest post by Christine Dupre Until she was dying, I didn’t know that my mother hated her hands. She considered them ugly. In reality, they were small and pretty; the hands of an artist. Perhaps it is what they did that made them ugly. But we never talked about that. Not even at the end. […]
Our sense of control is a mere illusion…
Hand of Control
Life seems weighted unfairly from the start. As daughters of Eve, we have been deceived. As soul-wounded women, our brains have been tampered with, manipulated, and aren’t as reliable as we like to think.
