• Kindness, Clarity, and Encouragement – #43

  There’s a difference between true connection and seeking constant validation everywhere. What happens when the crowd no longer receives your message? When Jesus told the multitude “unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood…”, most of them walked away–so many that Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Will you leave, too?” Had his ministry…

  I am still learning how to live outside of transactional love—how to deactivate these expectations. 😮‍💨 Cuz it’s really not people who hurt you most times. It’s the expectation of how you want them to be, how you want them to see you, how you want to be treated. You know: the broken places in…

• Living in the Overflow: An Adjustment of Perspective
