The only person I can control - the only person who can make sure I’m living an integrated and holy life is me. Relying on God’s grace and ALL his gifts for sure - but no one else can do this for me but me.
This gave me pause today thinking about families:
“Without time for talking, laughing, arguing, sharing stories, and showing affection, we are just a collection of people who share the same refrigerator.” Pauline Boss, Ambiguous Loss
@BethMooreLPM@JackiCKing Dearest Beth, I have stayed largely silent on this issue since the denomination that taught me to love Jesus and missions overwhelmingly voted to disfellowship our church - but I must stand 100% with you and for my sisters - who are half the church. Thank you…
I’m writing again. And so happy to be! 2 projects, one shorter non-fiction work and the other a novel. The fiction work will take longer because I have to do it on the side.
I share this with you in order to give you my word about something. Now only the Lord knows if these works will come to fruition and get published. But I want to make you a promise you are welcome to hold me to.
Even if the end result is mediocre and the work would have been better if I did, I will never use AI to do any writing I put my name on nor have I ever used or will I use a ghost writer. I want to say that plainly especially as I get older. I respect my readers and Bible study participants. These aren’t groupies and book buyers don’t just represent numbers to me. I have a lot of flaws but God has treated me so mercifully that I want to serve people well.
Please don’t hear this in an arrogant tone because nothing is further from my mind. I’m not one bit better than those who have done or will do any of these things. And goodness knows I’ve committed more grievous sins in my lifetime.
But this writing part of my life has been such unmerited grace that I’ve tried to treat it with care. Anyway, I wanted to get that off my chest. If I put it out there, it’s mine. Even if you give it a D. :)

Parenting a child with mental illness can often feel like having the same painful conversations over and over again. Our deepest desire is to see our child choose help, yet their illness may prevent them from doing so. How can we build a strong relationship and offer support without compromising our own boundaries?
Please join me on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, from 5:30–6:30 p.m. (PT) for a conversation with world-renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Xavier Amador. We’ll explore why a child may be unable to acknowledge their mental illness, how to prioritize connection as a pathway to help, practical ways to set boundaries, and how active listening can help de-escalate conflict.

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Why does my child refuse help even when they’re clearly struggling?” Oftentimes, we are so desperate to get our children help, but instead of building a relationship of trust that leads to treatment, we seem to end up creating conflict.
Please join me and world-renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Xavier Amador on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. (PT), as we talk about boundaries and communication that can deepen trust with our loved ones and, in turn, create an environment where treatment may become possible.
