Jesus Christ doesn't give a shit about witchcraft. He never said jack shit about it. Just like he never said jack shit about homosexuality. You really think a literal god would care about mortals' pastimes and love lives? Fuck outta here.

Making the decision to follow the Bible's doctrine; dedicating my life to Jesus' teachings and promises regardless of my human doubts, Satan's lies and my own thoughts and feelings...

That's easily the hardest thing I've ever done.

If you think following Jesus is easy, you're not a real disciple. You're just religious.

Daily Bread with Breakfast

It is so important for me to daily get into the Word of God. Some days I fail at this. But I try my best to be consistent at getting into the Word. I am currently reading through Psalms and Exodus.

A Hitch in the Road

There's nothing worse than going after something positive and ending up feeling so much negativity revolving your goal.

I started Fiercely Favored in hopes of creating a community of believers with scars and difficult stories. I asked my younger brother to help with graphics for the shirts and to make the logo. He suffered with alcoholism and apparently depression. He was traveling the road of living a toxic, verbally ,and mentally abusive relationship.

My brother grew up with me and I know the awful history or our childhood, as I healed and grew, he drank and stewed. To his shit life stew he added a baby momma that was totally dedicated to making babies and living in her own toxicity and the truth is I'm bias so I'll keep the details of their life limited.

My brother committed suicide in September 2022. He shot himself in the head in his closet, although graphic, it speaks to the devastation that I am experiencing. He lived a life so full of tragedy but was so talented and inspirational to many. It tears my heart to pieces to k ow it ended as a tragic story instead of the way I envisioned.

I started this story it started with disruption to goals and when I started my company I had such a deep desire to help others and when my brother left I lost a piece of my heart. It set me off course.

I began a downward spiral for 4 months nearly giving up all I worked for right alongside my brother. I was definitely a willing participant to my own demise at that time.

God did not let me go. He planted blessings in my life that made it impossible for me to quit and He revealed Himself to me by giving me dreams and signs. I thank God that my heart always remains soft enough for Him to make himself known to me in my times of pain.

Today I have rededicated myself to bringing the lost sheep of God together in a community that they can feel comfortable in.

In my next blog I will detail the next step in this amazing story of redemption for Fiercely Favored and a person that is a true believer and working to help us understand the first steps of reentry and recovery with God on her side.

There's nothing wrong with being a Christian. There's everything wrong with being a bigoted Christian.

Gratitude Day 1352

My merciful Lord, I thank You for loving me with a perfect love. I thank You for Your incredible depth of mercy. Help me to see all of my sin and to turn to You with honesty and humility so that I can be freed of these burdens and become justified in Your sight. Jesus, I trust in You.

I wrestle. But can you trust me, God?

Logically, I know, because I believe His Word is true. I know that God doesn’t want perfection out of me. Logically I know that I’m not capable of it anyways. Logically, I know that He wants my attention. My worship and my love. My surrender…

I love, therefore I do… my near-fatal flaw. I do things for the people I love, I want to serve and make things easier on those around me. I want to produce. I want to be helpful. When this becomes the thorn in my side is when I try to do it all without error and I simply can not. When I try to do it all on someone else’s schedule that doesn’t even coincide with my own. When I forego my health to finish something I said I could do that I never could. Where does this come from? I think deep, deep down, I still have old weeds that grow that have adapted to a new environment. Weeds that still continue to make it through the ground from which I don’t even consciously feed. They’re weeds that symbolize my unhealthy and buried instinct to please God by doing things well. My desire to be perfect in His eyes. My desire to hide my humanness from Him. It sounds ridiculous. But it’s there. And when I don’t (can’t) measure up, to the standards He never set for me but that I set for myself… enter overwhelm. Enter sickness. Enter ideas of retreating so deeply that I become invisible. 

Logically I know this too… that if I were to do that, I might miss people. People might miss me. I will miss God. I might stop seeing his wonder. I won’t be of any use in spreading His glory about this earth. Maybe that is my biggest fear. I want to be used and seen as good. Too honest? Just typing those words makes me feel nervous about the insides of my heart and soul. 

Since logically I know the truth, I wrestle to find a solution to the lies that still occasionally surface for me. I probably won’t stop battling this completely until I meet Jesus face to face. I will likely need constant reminder as I journey on. And that’s okay with me. In the most hard moments, my solution is this: rather than strive for perfection for God, I will become trustworthy to God. That’s the place I will revisit when I find myself failing according to me, overcommitting, stretching beyond my means or sacrificing joy for accomplishment. Trusting that God is good, He is worthy, He is all that I need. That He has already won, and doesn’t need help accomplishing His will on His earth. Getting to walk beside Him is a gift and a grace. I remember that He desires to use me, that I know He has called me, and that He will use me if He can trust me. So I stay there. Teachable, able to adapt, ready. But not drowning. And when I start spiraling thinking I am not doing enough, not perfect enough, messing up, unable to carry it all, I remember that God doesn’t need my perfection, He doesn’t need my obsessive tendencies in order to forge His way, He certainly doesn’t need my panic. He doesn’t need me to do Him a favor. He wants to be able to trust me. From here, I can stop trying so hard to be everything, and I can relax into just being the-Jesus-following-me… the me that is changing and becoming, the me who loves the Lord with all my heart, who longs to be in His presence. The me who is His child, and is able to find rest in His love and grace. I can stop crying out for strength and energy incessantly and can instead pray passionately for God to mold my heart into one after His own, one He trusts. Can you trust me, God? 

It may seem depressing, but I don’t mean for it to be. Really, it’s normal. We just often don’t talk about what we wrestle with personally. Really, underneath the difficulty of this life, even instances like this are quite stunning. To see God changing my thoughts, to feel Him draw me near. To give everything to Him and trust Him to make me new. To consume His word and watch it never return void. To watch Him remove scales allowing me to see. To have seen God move in hindsight enough, that you begin to be able to see Him working before "hindsight". It’s the dream. All are welcome. And I am thankful.

What Do We Mean by the Word Christian?

by Jim Gordon What do people think of when they hear the word Christian? With some of the discriminatory and hateful happenings recently with extreme groups who claim to be Christian and with the rise of Christian Nationalism, I feel it is getting a little confusing what the real meaning is. My wife and I have seriously questioned whether we should continue to use the word Christian to identify…
