We Can Live in Total Freedom
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. As someone who grew up in a Christian home, I can often forget the gravity of this truth. While I was an enemy of God, God loved me enough to send his son to die on a cross for me. While I was obsessed with what…
Read MoreGrace 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.

Read MoreAndrea 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.

Throughout the lows in my journey through anorexia, I found myself asking “Why God? Why me. Why all of this… suddenly?

Read MoreTrish Nicholls Powell – I AM ENOUGH
Growing up, I was always told I was loved, I could do anything, be anything…but deep down I didn’t believe it or feel it. I knew my parents loved me, I knew God loved me and yet for whatever reason, I felt love was based on my performance. So, I set out to make sure…
