Can’t wait to have you back Steph!

So encouraging to hear

Brother, the feeling of rejection is truly one of the heaviest weights a heart can carry — especially when it comes from the very people we love and long to be seen by. You are not alone in this. Many of us, myself included, have walked through seasons of feeling overlooked, misunderstood, or pushed aside by family and those closest to us. That pain is real, and it matters. When I’ve felt that way, I’ve been reminded that even Jesus understands this kind of rejection. Scripture tells us: “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.” — Hebrews 4:15 Jesus knows what it is to be rejected, abandoned, and misunderstood — even by His own. You are seen by Him, fully known, and deeply loved, even in this moment. Prayer: Father God, I lift up my brother to You right now. You see the places in his heart that feel wounded, rejected, and weary. Draw near to him and remind him that he is never cast aside by You. Surround him with Your peace, replace pain with hope, and let him feel Your presence in a tangible way today. Strengthen him, comfort him, and reassure him that he is Your beloved. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Such kind words. Thank you so much for being here and being part of the community!
