8 Weeks In & 8 Weeks to Come – Christa Hesselink
Eight weeks ago all of us were rushing around preparing to “hunker down” in some sort of quarantined-social-distancing-isolated reality. I thought it would a pause – like a nap in a busy day. I had early to mid-April in my sights – I was hoping that’s when we’d “get back…
Strength for Today – Mei Lyn Freeman
It’s March, a brisk, cold winter morning greets my alarm and my eyes open. I take a deep breath in and slowly release air from my lungs. I watch my warm steamy air break through the coldness around me and I am reminded that we are in Canada. I pray,…
Really, How are you?… – Giovanna Bonomo-Blescia
How to liberate your words when fear is holding them hostage If you’re finding it difficult to find the words that follow the “How are you?” question these days — chances are, your words are being held hostage by fear. You know what you want to say. The words are…
Made Whole Again – Stacey Campbell
For all that gets written and talked about on the subject of forgiveness, why is it so hard to achieve let alone maintain? If only our most earnest efforts at forgiveness translated into the results of the freedom and peace we crave after an offence occurs. God’s answer to offence…

Grace Spencer – When Shame Entered The World
Genesis two, the second chapter in the Bible, ends with a remarkable line – it says Adam and Eve, the humans God created, were naked and unashamed. One chapter later, shame enters the world when Adam and Eve disobey God, live life on their own terms, and break trust. As…
Sathiya Sam – Why You’re Wrong About Getting Free of Pornography
Fifteen years later and I was still drowning in the shame of a terrible porn habit. I figured if I installed a few internet filters, found accountability partners and made a few high-stakes promises to God, my behavior would change in no time. Each one came up short. Free for…
Andrea Groenewald – No More Shame On You!
I talk to so many people who talk to me about wanting to change their behaviour and the way they react to certain situations. For example: people with addictions or other self defeating behaviours (self harm, eating disorders, issues with spending, etc.), couples who blame one another for their marital…
