rediscovering a life of faith from “outside” of the church. “Do JUSTICE, love MERCY, and walk HUMBLY with Your God.” #exvangelical #churchtoo #metoo #feminist

@Franklin_Graham @crowdermusic @TrevorEshuis I always knew there was something wrong with Crowder 🤮😂

During a really polarizing time in our country, I’m very thankful for @Bec_Shrader’s voice. I think we can all learn a lot from her, pro-choice or pro-life, and she is definitely worth a follow!! Just wanted to amplify and shine a light in a positive direction today.

@emrazz Creating a space for my teen children to be open & honest with their emotions

[Brittney @eshuisB]

@Bec_Shrader Thank you for sharing your pain & your beautiful babies with us, it’s truly an honor ❤️ You honor their memory well!

@coffeemomrepeat @sacwriter I sometimes wish I could go back with my anger & my voice (I found both later) and really advocate for myself and let people have it. But I have to have grace for myself and let the process be what it was. We never really know how we will handle trauma until it happens.

[Brittney @eshuisB]

@coffeemomrepeat @sacwriter This was also my experience. When I read my journal & messages with people from the church, it actually makes me mad at myself how not angry I was. I let people treat me in such a horrible way, and was so heartbroken. My abuse also came at the hands of my pastor/boss.

@jacksondame Thanks for ruining my Friday morning 🤮

[Brittney @eshuisB]

@klhull143 @jacksondame Yes, I’m sure it’s all tied up in that. When we have overcome trauma, grief is a bitch to deal with. And the political climate is just ripe for triggers for those of that left fundamentalism. It’s definitely playing out in some ugly ways for sure.

@KristyBurm My nine year old is a wonderful artist. She loves to draw animals and these adorable characters. But everytime she draws a person their arms are behind their back, because she also hates drawing hands! lol

[Brittney @eshuisB]

@KristyBurm Doing pretty well. It’s Thursday, which is close to Friday. And it’s a long weekend, yay! Soaking up the sweet quiet of the house while I work, and waiting for the beautiful chaos that comes at 3. I love them both!

[Brittney @eshuisB]

@Whimsy36853432 And one I can definitely relate with for sure!

[Brittney @eshuisB]

#exvie Twitter has literally imploded since we lost RHE. It’s a shit storm. It’s pretty obvious to me that all the same issues that we brought with us from fundamentalism, followed us outside the pews. Church isn’t necessarily the problem, it’s US, all of us.

[Brittney @eshuisB]

@Whimsy36853432 That’s a beautiful image!!

[Brittney @eshuisB]

I have always felt a bit of an outsider in the #exvangelical community and today I am feeling like maybe that’s ok. Because my intention in leaving the church was definitely not leaving one ship of control & dogma to another ship with a different set of control & dogma.

[Brittney @eshuisB]

Wherever we find ourself, #exvangelical or not, church member or not; we will need lots of grace for ourselves and others. Because no label or location brings peace and joy or escape from pain - we have to find that within ourselves and in a faith we have found for ourselves.

@NatePyle79 This is just beyond me...I have no words, at least not any productive or appropriate ones. The saddest part is knowing how many people I have gone to church with over the years who would support this & completely miss how how awful & racist this is 😢🤬

[Brittney @eshuisB]

@Bec_Shrader Oh my word, that is just awful 😢🤬 I have often felt these fundraisers were really just an opportunity for consultants to make money, while manipulating & pulling at the heart strings of those making the purchases. They should have to release #s after these things!

[Brittney @eshuisB]

@Bec_Shrader Hate Lularoe, all of them really, but Younique I see this a lot. If five more people buy this mascara I get a pay raise! Come on friends! 🤮
