Sarah's Friday Blog: "There's no hate like Christian love"
Hi, friends. I'm back and I'm still frustrated (see blog post: "I'm Frustrated" from last year).  I guess I'm just really wondering where we go from here. The reputation of the (big C) Church in the Southeastern United States is plastered in hate, intolerance, racism, extremism, abuse...and I could go...

Sarah's Friday Blog: BIRTHDAYS pt. 2
Hi, friends! Sarah here for other blog, and I cannot believe its been just under a year since I've written. I'm a firm believer in not forcing content for the sake of content, and also living fully in whatever season one is in. I think the Lord knew this time...

Sarah's Friday Blogs: an attempt at words
This week has been heavy. Heck, this world is heavy. Its too much.   Lord, we need you.    Nineteen innocent students. Two teachers. Twenty one innocent souls taken this week...at school.  One killed and five wounded at Church in southern California last week.  Ten dead, and many more injured,...

Sarah's Friday Blog: Judgement + Authenticity

Sarah's Friday Blog: Judgement + Authenticity
One thing that is completely ironic to me in the Christian community is the relationship between judgement and authenticity. Judging others has, heartbreakingly, become something that evangelicals are know for. At the same time, many evangelicals are searching for something real, or in another word, authentic.
