Hello, friend.
Welcome to Ecclesia. This blog was born from my search for gentle truth during times of suffering. Most of the Christian literature I found on suffering had some sort of message of ‘do this or that’ and you will receive what you need to get through. Most people are focused on what we need to do in suffering, when in reality the people who are struggling are likely already doing everything they can. We don’t need a to-do list in our suffering. We need an absurd amount of grace.
Here I will be sharing things that bring me hope, encouragement, and joy. I will share what has brought me healing through years of struggling with depression, loss of health, deconstruction and reconstruction. But most importantly I hope that when you are in despair and darkness, these words reming you that you are not alone: God was there first bloody and broken. He experience excruciating pain and betrayal so that he would know your pain. He waits to redeem you and bring healing to your wounded heart.
