The Shame of Exposure
It is Scriptures like John 8 that completely keep me in awe of God, His love, and His pursuit of me and you. This woman was brought before the King of kings, before the one who hates sin but loves the sinner so much that He left His glory to come to earth to die....

The Gospel of Mark
“Truly this man was God’s Son.” –Mark 15:39 When we face challenges and difficulties in life, we need comfort. When we are unsure where to turn, we need hope. When we face our mortality, we need a Savior. When we doubt our faith, we need assurance. Jesus is our...
The Shame of Sickness
Time is a funny thing. While it is constant with every minute having sixty seconds and every hour sixty minutes, it can fly by or it can drag. My children share an electronic tablet and they each get half an hour to play games on it. For the one waiting, half an hour...
Faith that Overcomes Shame
I love the story of Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46-52. Bartimaeus was a blind man, a beggar sitting by the road when Jesus and His disciples passed by. Bartimaeus was a man whose life was marked by shame. During that time period, disabilities were reasons to cast out people...
Shame Off You
David’s early life was marked with such anointing and strength. The stories we read of David in the Bible are legendary--killing a bear and lion with his bare hands, defeating Goliath with only a stone and a sling, being anointed king of Israel when he was a young...
Broken Pieces
Before our wedding, we received a china tea cup as a wedding gift. Unfortunately, it shattered in the mail. The store didn’t allow me to return it so I made a mosaic frame from the pieces to hold a copy of our wedding invitation. I’ve looked at it many times over the...
The Shame of Weakness
Israel was in trouble. They had continually disobeyed God and done what was evil in the sight of the Lord. God gave Israel over to the people of Midian for seven years. During this time the Israelites made little dens for themselves in the mountains to hide their...
The Shame of Past Decisions
One of the many things I love about the Bible are the numerous stories of redemption, especially the victorious comebacks from the underdogs. Our God has certainly authored some of the greatest stories that still offer us hope today. I have experienced pain, guilt,...
Here I Am, Lord
Amazing things happen when one woman decides to give God her all. This is how our Afrikaans branch was started way back in 2013, when a South African woman saw the need for community and biblical knowledge among the women of her nation. It all started with a simple,...
The Shame of Not Being Enough
I have struggled with a sense of shame almost my whole life. Some of my earliest memories of school involve an overwhelming sense of shame. I vividly remember being in kindergarten and one of my classmates already knowing how to read. Right after learning one of the...
The Shame of Barrenness
In our Scripture today we find ourselves in Abraham and Sarah’s story. Abraham (called Abram at this point) had already received God’s promise to give him an heir and descendants more numerous than the stars in the sky (Genesis 15:1-6). It was an unbelievable promise...
Made for Community – Shame Breaker Translations
Brokenness, betrayal, abandonment, shame, contempt. These are not the words you want to come to mind when you look at our family photo prayer card on your fridge. We were three months away from being commissioned formally to become missionaries at our church. That...
Jesus Covers Our Shame
When was the last time you made a bad choice? A really bad choice. A choice you made out of fear. A choice in which you disregarded and willfully disobeyed God. A choice that left you humiliated, broken, and ashamed. The choice to sin. If you are like me, you have...
Shame Breaker Introduction
Shame is sneaky. It likes to hide and makes us want to hide and become invisible with it. It holds us back and makes us feel as though we are not enough. It zaps our confidence and likes to remind us of all our short comings. Whether we like to admit it or not, the...
Make a Difference

LGG Women – Miriam’s Story
If you want to know what my favorite time of year is all you really have to do stop by my house in December. The smell of cinnamon and cloves, a romantic Christmas movie on the screen, Michael Bublé playing in the background. I love it all. When I was younger, I...

The Promise Fulfilled
In the Old Testament, there was a season of time where a long awaited promise – a promise of a Savior, a promise of a salvation yet to come – seemed dormant and forgotten. There was a hush, a quiet from heaven for 400 years. For 400 years, there was no further...
The Birth Of John The Baptist
The birth of John the Baptist is a beautiful story because it shows, yet again, the mercy and kindness of God. An older couple, Zechariah and Elizabeth, incapable of conceiving a child were given a promise by God that they would have a son of their own. Zechariah...
Mary’s Song: The Magnificat
I love Christmas decorations: twinkly lights, poinsettias, garland twirled around a staircase. My mom has an incredible collection of nativity scenes from around the world she puts up all over her house every year. Each scene is made from different indigenous...
Equipping Women in The Netherlands
Sometimes translating, scheduling posts, preparing YouVersion, and other routine tasks can feel just like that: routine tasks. We forget why we do all this work. Spending all these hours behind a screen instead of walking, playing games, reading, baking, or...
