Have you ever considered stepping down from a leadership position or stepping away from your calling because you were struggling with your faith?

Surely they would…

Weathered but Never Broken in Jesus
It takes energy that I don’t have to come on this page and pretend to be anything other than who I am. For this girl, being honest is how I roll. I sign each post, “See You in the Field,” and they are more than words that I just sign off with. It is an invitation to walk with me…

Trusting In The One Who Is Stronger Than The Storm
“We are stronger than the storm.” Words I saw on a Christian tee that landed on my heart after having just prayed for a deeper understanding of the story in Matthew 14:22-33.
