Writing faith as it’s lived, not imagined

@SteaknShake That's amazing! Thank you!

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

Someone asked which memory I would relive if I could.
I didn't have to think very long.
This one got me in the feels. But it's also exactly why I wrote my book.
First chapter of The Cost to Go Back is free at https://t.co/ha0tXnFyzO 🌿

@Meldougherty77 Exposing sin and darkness was the most loving thing and it took courage. Telling people what they want to hear doesn't take any courage at all and is completely unloving.

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

If you found a machine that could let you relive any memory exactly as it happened, which one would you choose?

I have thoughts on this for obvious reasons. 🌿 #TheCostToGoBack #SheVersion

I started writing my next book yesterday.

The laundry almost didn't make it.

My characters are waiting and they are not patient. 🌿 #SheVersion #AmWriting

@authorascend_ Thanks. I hope so.

We spend our lives trying to control our circumstances. But what if the "broken" parts of our lives are actually the parts God uses to keep us intact?

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

@authorascend_ Ya, I wasn't happy about doing it though. I'm glad I did... mostly. I think. Processing sucks but I'm better for it.

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

@authorascend_ My husband is my rock. He carried me through. God was constantly coming through for us during this time as well. Even though I was constantly wrestling with Him, He was constantly answering my prayers. It's hard to sum it all up. lol

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

@authorascend_ My own personal story. When I lost my memories and other abilities after our accident I really struggled with our situation. I desperately wanted to rewrite my story.

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

God offered Elijah a snack and a nap. Twice.

Elijah still chose misery.

I wrote about why that's embarrassingly relatable.

You guys. SheVersion is live.
I wrote a novel. It started with a car accident and a traumatic brain injury and a woman who wanted to control everything.
Sound familiar?
First chapter is free. Go read it and tell me what you think 👉 https://t.co/ha0tXnFyzO

A car accident took my memories.

What came out of that process is almost ready to share.

Friday. 🌿 #SheVersion

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

Something I've been building is almost ready.

Why do Christians keep swinging from one extreme to another?

When we realize we were wrong, we often overcorrect instead of seeking truth.

Reaction isn’t discernment.

I talk about the “ditch on both sides of the road” in this week’s episode:

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

There is a ditch on both sides of the road.

One ditch is shallow emotional faith.

The other ditch is harsh legalism.

The goal is not switching ditches.

The goal is staying on the road.

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

Christians often correct error the wrong way.

We don’t aim for truth.

We aim away from the last mistake we made.

That’s how people swing from one extreme to another.

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

Stay tuned for the animated series starting next week. 📖✨

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

My novel The Cost to Go Back explores what happens when we stop trusting the Logos and start trying to rewrite our own stories.

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

And the good news is that discernment is a skill you can learn.

[Sheila Rodriguez @TheSheVersion]

The problem isn’t that there are too many Christian voices.
The problem is that many of us were never taught how to handle Scripture well for ourselves.
