  • I’ve been waiting for MONTHS to let you in on the very best news! The next course coming to The Rooted Home this fall is called Daily Disciple-Making, and it’s all about discipleship. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t know about you, but discipleship is something I know I’m called to, but I haven’t always known how to go about it. I want to be a woman who leads others closer to Christ, but am I cut out? Do I need to be discipled first? How do I do it? And what does discipleship look like in different seasons of life? ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This course seeks to answer all these questions and more. It’s a no-fills guide to disciple-making relationships, no matter what your gifts are or what stage of life you find yourself in. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BUT HERE’S THE BEST PART: I’m not teaching this course alone. I’ve invited other Bible teachers and mentors to be a part of helping us understand the role different topics play in disciple-making relationships. We’ll learn from people like @melissabryankruger on the role of Bible study in disciple-making relationships, and where to start if you want to get into the Word with someone for the first time. We’ll hear from @hannah_._anderson on how to develop discernment yourself and how to help someone you’re discipling develop discernment as well. We’ll learn from @gentle_leading on how to disciple those young in the faith, including the kids God has entrusted to us. AND SO MANY MORE! The lineup is incredible, and I’ll be rolling it out shortly. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Jump over to my stories to hear more, but in the meantime be watching for this course coming your way this fall!
  • For my mom and her friends who may be convinced that I only eat cheese ... I WILL eat salad (if it has feta, obviously).
  • His and hers ice cream. (Alt caption: my feed is one part theology and three parts dairy based foods)
  • Y’all know how much I like selfies AND the gym, right? Okay. Glad to be on the same page. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But even though every fiber in my being braces against this photo, I was reminded of something important this morning while at the gym. Our theology is important. Not just in church. Not just on Sundays. Not just at small group. But on Monday mornings at the gym, our theology matters. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There will be countless voices today telling you what to make of your both — both theoretically and literally. They’ll tell you to be good to your body because it’s perfect. And you’ll hear that your body is moldable, pliable, changeable with enough will power. These voices will shout about your inherent perfection and the perfection you have yet to attain. Do not listen to them. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They’re half truths coming in half-baked. You, my friend, we’re made in the glorious image of your Creator. He formed your frame, setting limits for your humanity that will ultimately lead to our humility and deep dependence on Him. Our bodies are not perfect — but our God is. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And, while the world wants to tell you that your body should always be seeking improvement — that if you diet enough and work out more often that you could literally have less of this boarish body — our God came in flesh. The incarnation stands as our stark reminder that bodies are not bad, but we that One body is the source of our redemption. Located in the risen body of Christ — the one with scars and holes and all — is our very salvation. Your body is not an evil to always be improved or overcome. The Son of God has a body and is redeeming our bodies day by day. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No matter where you’re reading this, know this: your theology of your body matters right now, right where you are. Whether you idolize your figure or diminish your frame, your theology will seep out into unknown territories of your mind. So don’t start with your body; start with your God. Let His nature and character form and fashion your theology. Let His voice be the one that rises above all other voices — the one you listen to, the one you love.
  • We come to it late, and often tired. But we never come to this meal and walk away empty. Even when it seems like there’s nothing in the fridge, there always seems to be just enough. A half-container of hummus we can spruce up with some EVOO and tomatoes; some leftover sourdough that toasts well with butter and preserves. This meal always leaves our bellies full. And there’s a truth here. Even when we have nothing to bring, when we come to God we’ll walk away full. He’s abundant and creative and will always tuck us into bed with hearts full of grace. Happy sabbath, friends.
  • Do something with your hands today. Something old fashioned. Maybe even something with buttermilk. And then sit and savor the sweetness of God’s good gifts. Happy weekend, friends!
