When God Shows You Who You Really Are

When Jennifer Campbell got her patriarchal blessing, she learned she shouted for joy to come to Earth. Her first thought? “What was I thinking!?” Because after 25 years of chronic depression, that seemed impossible! But this isn’t your typical mental health story. It’s about discovering that sometimes your greatest “weakness” is actually your greatest strength in disguise, and why Satan works so hard to make you believe otherwise. For anyone who has hated parts of themselves, wondered why happiness seems impossible, or felt disconnected from their divine identity, this message might just change how you see your struggles.

Christian or Not? Unpacking America’s Religious Identity

Can America guarantee free expression of religion in public as an officially secular, but culturally Christian nation? Expressing religious faith in public is both protected by law and socially acceptable. As a secular nation, the US has no official religion, but since two-thirds of American are Christian, most of the displays of religion in public places we see represent one faith. For example, Christmas is the only religious holiday observed by the that’s also a federal holiday when all government services and most private businesses are closed. And some argue that, because of our history and founding, America was intended to be a Christian nation.

How We Value Care Work in America

Care work is the labor essential to life. But two-thirds of caregiving goes uncompensated. What do we miss when we don’t value care work and how does this affect care workers? If we multiplied all the hours spent in a year on unpaid caregiving in America by the local minimum wage, it would be worth one trillion dollars. Yet none of it is accounted for in the official measures of the nation's economic health or productivity. And the vast majority is done by women. Meanwhile, the paid care sector has a critical shortage of daycare staff, home health aides and certified nursing assistants. America is in a care work crisis.

Not Fearing Others’ Faith Journeys

Today, we’re thrilled to welcome therapist and podcaster Valerie Hamaker. In his book Falling Upward, Franciscan priest Richard Rohr uses the metaphor of a container to elaborate on what he calls “the two halves of life.” The first half of life, he says, is for building the structure of the container; the second is for filling it and sharing from it. This concept has been foundational for us in our faith journey over the last 10 years, and today with Valerie, we delved into how everyone’s faith evolves over time, the necessity of structure and identity in early faith development, and the importance of embracing complexity, depth, and paradox as we grow.
