I could very well be Glennon Doyle\\u2019s biggest fangirl, and I just finished re-reading her memoir \\u201cUntamed.\\u201d<\\/h3>\\n Something in my spirit nudged me to go to the nearest bookstore and get my hands on another copy, as I\\u2019d passed along my original as soon as I turned the final page.<\\/p>\\n It had just been too empowering and life-changing not to share posthaste.<\\/p>\\n I\\u2019m so glad I listened to that which Doyle calls her inner \\u201cKnowing,\\u201d because once again feasting my eyes on these stories (which are, per the introduction, about \\u201chow \[she] got caged\\u2014and how \[she] got free\\u201d) was exactly what I needed these last couple of weeks.<\\/p>\\n This time, however, I used a yellow #2 pencil as a bookmark and slipped it out from the book\\u2019s binding whenever a particular line stopped me in my literary tracks.<\\/p>\\n I soon realized that I was underlining something (or many things) on every single page, and the fresh paper became diluted with graphite asterisks and slanting lines beneath sentences. There\\u2019s just so much to love.<\\/p>\\n So\\u2014although my initial plan was to compile the quotes into a single blog post, I knew it\\u2019d be as tedious to type and read as an entire manuscript.<\\/p>\\n Therefore, I thought I\\u2019d stick with the theme of \\u201cPatheos\\u201d and list only the underlined portions that directly dealt with faith.<\\/p>\\n As a Christian-mommy-blogger-turned-queer-spiritual-activist, Doyle has a lot to say about the subject.<\\/p>\\n So please enjoy this curated list of quotes, and afterward, I\\u2019d love to hear which quotes stood out to you<\\/em>.<\\/p>\\n (Side note: The quotes are listed in the order in which they appear in the book.)<\\/p>\\n \"Untamed Glennon Doyle\\u2019s book \\u201cUntamed\\u201d sitting atop my writing desk, ready to be annotated<\\/figcaption><\\/figure>\\n On falling in love with Abby Wambach at first sight:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " For a long while I thought that what happened that day was some kind of fairy-tale magic. I thought the words There She Is<\\/em> came to me from on high. Now I know that There She Is<\\/em> came from within.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On crucifixion and resurrection:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " \\u2026every great spiritual teacher tells us the same story about humanity and pain: Don\\u2019t avoid it. You need it to evolve, to become. And you are here to become.<\\/p>\\n Like Buddha, who had to leave his life of comfort to experience all kinds of human suffering before finding enlightenment.<\\/p>\\n Like Moses, who wandered forty years in the desert before seeing the promised land.<\\/p>\\n Like Wesley from\\u00a0The Princess Bride, <\\/em>who said, \\u201cLife is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.\\u201d<\\/p>\\n Like Jesus, who walked straight toward his own crucifixion.<\\/p>\\n First the pain, then the waiting, then the rising. All of our suffering comes when we try to get to our resurrection without allowing ourselves to be crucified first.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On finding God in a dark, quiet closet:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " When I talk like this, my wife raises her eyebrow and asks \\u2018Aren\\u2019t you just talking to yourself down there?\\u2019 Maybe. If what I\\u2019ve found in the deep is just my self\\u2014if who I have learned to trust is not God but myself\\u2014and if, for the rest of my life, no matter how lost I get, I know exactly where and how to find myself again\\u2014well, then. That is certainly enough of a miracle for me.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On being still and knowing:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " HOW TO KNOW: \\nMoment of uncertainty arises. \\nBreathe, turn inward, sink. \\nFeel around for the Knowing. \\nDo the next thing it nudges you toward. \\nLet it stand. (Don\\u2019t explain.) \\nRepeat forever.<\\/p>\\n (For the rest of your life: Continue to shorten the gap between the Knowing and the doing.)<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On knowing \\u201cwho we were meant to be before the world told us who to be\\u201d:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " We are all bilingual. We speak the language of indoctrination, but our native tongue is the language of imagination.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On as it is in heaven<\\/em>:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " Let\\u2019s conjure up, from the depths of our souls: \\nThe truest, most beautiful lives we can imagine. \\nThe truest, most beautiful families we can fathom. \\nThe truest, most beautiful world we can hope for. \\nLet\\u2019s put it all on paper.<\\/p>\\n Let\\u2019s look at what we\\u2019ve written and decide that these are not pipe dreams; these are marching orders. These are the blueprints for our lives, our families, and the world.<\\/p>\\n May the invisible order become visible. \\nMay our dreams become our plans.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On deconstruction:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " I have lost identities, beliefs, and relationships it has hurt to lose. I have learned that when I live from my emotions, knowing, and imagination, I am always losing. What I lose is always what is no longer true enough so that I can take full hold of what is.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On what faith is (and what it\\u2019s not):<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " To me, faith is not public allegiance to a set of outer beliefs, but a private surrender to the inner Knowing.<\\/p>\\n \\u2026 For me, living in faith means allowing to burn all that separates me from the Knowing so that one day I can say: I and the Mother are one<\\/em>.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On being brave:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " Brave does not mean being afraid and doing it anyway.<\\/p>\\n Brave means living from the inside out. Brave means, in every uncertain moment, turning inward, feeling for the Knowing, and speaking it out loud.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On women being good<\\/em>:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " The blueprints of heaven are etched in the deep desires of women.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On the Garden of Eden:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " Maybe Eve was never meant to be our warning. Maybe she was meant to be our model.<\\/p>\\n Own your wanting. \\nEat the apple. \\nLet it burn.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On motherhood:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " When we call martyrdom love we teach our children that when love begins, life ends. \\u2026<\\/p>\\n What if love is not the process of disappearing for the beloved but emerging<\\/em> for the beloved? \\u2026<\\/p>\\n What if the call of motherhood is not to be a martyr but to be a model<\\/em>?<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On the word found 74 times in the Hebrew Bible:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " Selah<\\/em> is the holy silence when a recipient of transformational words, music, and sketchily acquired information from radiology receptionists pauses long enough to be changed forever.<\\/p>\\n Selah<\\/em> is the nothingness just before the big bang of a woman exploding into a new universe.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On Bob Marley and Frederick Buechner:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " If I could do it again, I\\u2019d toss out the sign I once hung on Tish\\u2019s nursery wall that read \\u201cEvery Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright.\\u201d I\\u2019d replace it with Buechner\\u2019s \\u201cHere is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don\\u2019t be afraid.\\u201d<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On grace:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " The miracle of grace is that you can give what you have never gotten.\\u00a0<\\/em><\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On the origins of religion:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " There are wild, mysterious forces inside and between human beings that we have never been able to understand. Forces like faith. Like love. like sexuality. We are uncomfortable with our inability to comprehend or control these mysteries.<\\/p>\\n So we took wild faith\\u2014the mysterious undefinable evershifting flow between humans and the divine\\u2014and we packaged it into religion.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On her atheist wife:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " You think I\\u2019m wrong to believe there\\u2019s a God. But it\\u2019s what you love and need me for. You borrow my faith like we borrow our neighbor\\u2019s Wi-FI.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On the preacher\\u2019s sermon:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " \\u201cWhy\\u2014if your church is based on the Jesus who spoke incessantly about orphans and widow, demilitarization, immigrants, the sick, the outcast, and the poor\\u2014are you choosing abortion and gayness to hang your hat upon?\\u201d<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On being wary of pastors:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " The thing that gets me thinking and questioning most deeply is a leader who warns me not to think or question.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On the big and little C church:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " When hate or division is being spread in our religious institutions, we have three choices.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n " 1. Remain quiet, which means we agree.<\\/p>\\n 2. Loudly challenge power, and work like hell to make change.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n " 3. Take our families and leave.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On the BS that is the \\u201cevangelical position\\u201d:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " We all believe our religious beliefs were written on our hearts and in the stars. We never stop to consider that most of the memos we live by were actually written by highly motivated men.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On why she\\u2019s still Christian-ish<\\/em>:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " I remain compelled by the Jesus story. Not as history meant to reveal what happened long ago, but as poetry meant to illuminate a revolutionary idea powerful enough to heal and free humanity now.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On giving me goddamn goosebumps:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " Let\\u2019s dare to imagine that God is less like the powerful men who run the world. Let\\u2019s imagine God is actually like the person those rulers just killed. Let\\u2019s imagine that God is a vulnerable baby, born to a poor single mother, among the group most despised by the religious and political elite. They pointed to him. God is in him, they said.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On the Gospel according to Glennon:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " The Jesus idea is that justice casts the widest net possible to that every last one of us is inside. Then there are no others\\u2014there is only Us. Inside one net we are free from our cages of fear and hate and, instead, bound to one another. The revolutionary idea that every last one of us is both held and free: That is our salvation.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On girl gods:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " I think it\\u2019s ridiculous to think of God as anything that could possibly be gendered. But as long as the expression of God as female is unimaginable to many while the expression of God as male feels perfectly acceptable\\u2014and as long as women continue to be undervalued and abused and controlled here on Earth\\u2014I\\u2019ll keep using it.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On hating the sin but loving the sinner<\\/em>:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " We know that love has no buts. If you want to change me, you do not love me. If you feel warm toward me but also believe I\\u2019m going to burn in hell, you do not love me. If you wish me well but vote against my family being protected by the law, you do not love me.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On \\u201cthe God conflict\\u201d:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " For a while I felt scared because I thought the God conflict in me was challenging God. Now I know it was the God in me, challenging religion.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On making necessary distinctions:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " Often the internal voice telling us who God is and what God approves of is not God; it\\u2019s our indoctrination. \\u2026<\\/p>\\n Some of the hardest and most important work of our lives is learning to separate the voices of teachers from wisdom, propaganda from truth, fear from love and in this case: the voices of God\\u2019s self-appointed representatives from the voice of God Herself.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On choosing what you know instead of what people taught you to believe:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " If those who claim to speak for God or Truth can convince you to believe instead of Know<\\/em>, to live from their rules instead of your roots, to trust the voices of middlemen instead of the still, small voice inside you\\u2014then they control you. If they can get you to mistrust yourself\\u2014to stop feeling, deny knowing, quit imagining\\u2014and instead rely only on them, then they can get you to act against your own soul. If that happens, they can get you to follow them, vote with them, condemn for them, even kill for them\\u2014all in the name of this God who is constantly whispering to you: That is not exactly it<\\/em>.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On our life\\u2019s calling:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " We all want purpose and connection.<\\/p>\\n Tell me what breaks your heart, and I\\u2019ll point you toward both.<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n On your new favorite nursery rhyme:<\\/strong><\\/p>\\n " \\u201cJesus loves me, this I know, for he gave me Lexapro.\\u201d<\\/p><\\/blockquote>\\n<\\/body><\\/html>\\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I could very well be Glennon Doyle\\u2019s biggest fangirl, and I just finished re-reading her memoir \\u201cUntamed.\\u201d Something in my spirit nudged me to go to the nearest bookstore and get my hands on another copy, as I\\u2019d passed along my original as soon as I turned the final page.

I could very well be Glennon Doyle\u2019s biggest fangirl, and I just finished re-reading her memoir \u201cUntamed.\u201d<\/h3>\n Something in my spirit nudged me to go to the nearest bookstore and get my hands on another copy, as I\u2019d passed along my original as soon as I turned the final page.<\/p>\n It had just been too empowering and life-changing not to share posthaste.<\/p>\n I\u2019m so glad I listened to that which Doyle calls her inner \u201cKnowing,\u201d because once again feasting my eyes on these stories (which are, per the introduction, about \u201chow [she] got caged\u2014and how [she] got free\u201d) was exactly what I needed these last couple of weeks.<\/p>\n This time, however, I used a yellow #2 pencil as a bookmark and slipped it out from the book\u2019s binding whenever a particular line stopped me in my literary tracks.<\/p>\n I soon realized that I was underlining something (or many things) on every single page, and the fresh paper became diluted with graphite asterisks and slanting lines beneath sentences. There\u2019s just so much to love.<\/p>\n So\u2014although my initial plan was to compile the quotes into a single blog post, I knew it\u2019d be as tedious to type and read as an entire manuscript.<\/p>\n Therefore, I thought I\u2019d stick with the theme of \u201cPatheos\u201d and list only the underlined portions that directly dealt with faith.<\/p>\n As a Christian-mommy-blogger-turned-queer-spiritual-activist, Doyle has a lot to say about the subject.<\/p>\n So please enjoy this curated list of quotes, and afterward, I\u2019d love to hear which quotes stood out to you<\/em>.<\/p>\n (Side note: The quotes are listed in the order in which they appear in the book.)<\/p>\n Glennon Doyle\u2019s book \u201cUntamed\u201d sitting atop my writing desk, ready to be annotated<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n On falling in love with Abby Wambach at first sight:<\/strong><\/p>\n " For a long while I thought that what happened that day was some kind of fairy-tale magic. I thought the words There She Is<\/em> came to me from on high. Now I know that There She Is<\/em> came from within.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On crucifixion and resurrection:<\/strong><\/p>\n " \u2026every great spiritual teacher tells us the same story about humanity and pain: Don\u2019t avoid it. You need it to evolve, to become. And you are here to become.<\/p>\n Like Buddha, who had to leave his life of comfort to experience all kinds of human suffering before finding enlightenment.<\/p>\n Like Moses, who wandered forty years in the desert before seeing the promised land.<\/p>\n Like Wesley from\u00a0The Princess Bride, <\/em>who said, \u201cLife is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.\u201d<\/p>\n Like Jesus, who walked straight toward his own crucifixion.<\/p>\n First the pain, then the waiting, then the rising. All of our suffering comes when we try to get to our resurrection without allowing ourselves to be crucified first.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On finding God in a dark, quiet closet:<\/strong><\/p>\n " When I talk like this, my wife raises her eyebrow and asks \u2018Aren\u2019t you just talking to yourself down there?\u2019 Maybe. If what I\u2019ve found in the deep is just my self\u2014if who I have learned to trust is not God but myself\u2014and if, for the rest of my life, no matter how lost I get, I know exactly where and how to find myself again\u2014well, then. That is certainly enough of a miracle for me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On being still and knowing:<\/strong><\/p>\n " HOW TO KNOW: \nMoment of uncertainty arises. \nBreathe, turn inward, sink. \nFeel around for the Knowing. \nDo the next thing it nudges you toward. \nLet it stand. (Don\u2019t explain.) \nRepeat forever.<\/p>\n (For the rest of your life: Continue to shorten the gap between the Knowing and the doing.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On knowing \u201cwho we were meant to be before the world told us who to be\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n " We are all bilingual. We speak the language of indoctrination, but our native tongue is the language of imagination.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On as it is in heaven<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n " Let\u2019s conjure up, from the depths of our souls: \nThe truest, most beautiful lives we can imagine. \nThe truest, most beautiful families we can fathom. \nThe truest, most beautiful world we can hope for. \nLet\u2019s put it all on paper.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s look at what we\u2019ve written and decide that these are not pipe dreams; these are marching orders. These are the blueprints for our lives, our families, and the world.<\/p>\n May the invisible order become visible. \nMay our dreams become our plans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On deconstruction:<\/strong><\/p>\n " I have lost identities, beliefs, and relationships it has hurt to lose. I have learned that when I live from my emotions, knowing, and imagination, I am always losing. What I lose is always what is no longer true enough so that I can take full hold of what is.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On what faith is (and what it\u2019s not):<\/strong><\/p>\n " To me, faith is not public allegiance to a set of outer beliefs, but a private surrender to the inner Knowing.<\/p>\n \u2026 For me, living in faith means allowing to burn all that separates me from the Knowing so that one day I can say: I and the Mother are one<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On being brave:<\/strong><\/p>\n " Brave does not mean being afraid and doing it anyway.<\/p>\n Brave means living from the inside out. Brave means, in every uncertain moment, turning inward, feeling for the Knowing, and speaking it out loud.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On women being good<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n " The blueprints of heaven are etched in the deep desires of women.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On the Garden of Eden:<\/strong><\/p>\n " Maybe Eve was never meant to be our warning. Maybe she was meant to be our model.<\/p>\n Own your wanting. \nEat the apple. \nLet it burn.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On motherhood:<\/strong><\/p>\n " When we call martyrdom love we teach our children that when love begins, life ends. \u2026<\/p>\n What if love is not the process of disappearing for the beloved but emerging<\/em> for the beloved? \u2026<\/p>\n What if the call of motherhood is not to be a martyr but to be a model<\/em>?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On the word found 74 times in the Hebrew Bible:<\/strong><\/p>\n " Selah<\/em> is the holy silence when a recipient of transformational words, music, and sketchily acquired information from radiology receptionists pauses long enough to be changed forever.<\/p>\n Selah<\/em> is the nothingness just before the big bang of a woman exploding into a new universe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On Bob Marley and Frederick Buechner:<\/strong><\/p>\n " If I could do it again, I\u2019d toss out the sign I once hung on Tish\u2019s nursery wall that read \u201cEvery Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright.\u201d I\u2019d replace it with Buechner\u2019s \u201cHere is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don\u2019t be afraid.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On grace:<\/strong><\/p>\n " The miracle of grace is that you can give what you have never gotten.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n On the origins of religion:<\/strong><\/p>\n " There are wild, mysterious forces inside and between human beings that we have never been able to understand. Forces like faith. Like love. like sexuality. We are uncomfortable with our inability to comprehend or control these mysteries.<\/p>\n So we took wild faith\u2014the mysterious undefinable evershifting flow between humans and the divine\u2014and we packaged it into religion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On her atheist wife:<\/strong><\/p>\n " You think I\u2019m wrong to believe there\u2019s a God. But it\u2019s what you love and need me for. You borrow my faith like we borrow our neighbor\u2019s Wi-FI.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On the preacher\u2019s sermon:<\/strong><\/p>\n " \u201cWhy\u2014if your church is based on the Jesus who spoke incessantly about orphans and widow, demilitarization, immigrants, the sick, the outcast, and the poor\u2014are you choosing abortion and gayness to hang your hat upon?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On being wary of pastors:<\/strong><\/p>\n " The thing that gets me thinking and questioning most deeply is a leader who warns me not to think or question.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On the big and little C church:<\/strong><\/p>\n " When hate or division is being spread in our religious institutions, we have three choices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n " 1. Remain quiet, which means we agree.<\/p>\n 2. Loudly challenge power, and work like hell to make change.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n " 3. Take our families and leave.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On the BS that is the \u201cevangelical position\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n " We all believe our religious beliefs were written on our hearts and in the stars. We never stop to consider that most of the memos we live by were actually written by highly motivated men.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On why she\u2019s still Christian-ish<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n " I remain compelled by the Jesus story. Not as history meant to reveal what happened long ago, but as poetry meant to illuminate a revolutionary idea powerful enough to heal and free humanity now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On giving me goddamn goosebumps:<\/strong><\/p>\n " Let\u2019s dare to imagine that God is less like the powerful men who run the world. Let\u2019s imagine God is actually like the person those rulers just killed. Let\u2019s imagine that God is a vulnerable baby, born to a poor single mother, among the group most despised by the religious and political elite. They pointed to him. God is in him, they said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On the Gospel according to Glennon:<\/strong><\/p>\n " The Jesus idea is that justice casts the widest net possible to that every last one of us is inside. Then there are no others\u2014there is only Us. Inside one net we are free from our cages of fear and hate and, instead, bound to one another. The revolutionary idea that every last one of us is both held and free: That is our salvation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On girl gods:<\/strong><\/p>\n " I think it\u2019s ridiculous to think of God as anything that could possibly be gendered. But as long as the expression of God as female is unimaginable to many while the expression of God as male feels perfectly acceptable\u2014and as long as women continue to be undervalued and abused and controlled here on Earth\u2014I\u2019ll keep using it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On hating the sin but loving the sinner<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n " We know that love has no buts. If you want to change me, you do not love me. If you feel warm toward me but also believe I\u2019m going to burn in hell, you do not love me. If you wish me well but vote against my family being protected by the law, you do not love me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On \u201cthe God conflict\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n " For a while I felt scared because I thought the God conflict in me was challenging God. Now I know it was the God in me, challenging religion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On making necessary distinctions:<\/strong><\/p>\n " Often the internal voice telling us who God is and what God approves of is not God; it\u2019s our indoctrination. \u2026<\/p>\n Some of the hardest and most important work of our lives is learning to separate the voices of teachers from wisdom, propaganda from truth, fear from love and in this case: the voices of God\u2019s self-appointed representatives from the voice of God Herself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On choosing what you know instead of what people taught you to believe:<\/strong><\/p>\n " If those who claim to speak for God or Truth can convince you to believe instead of Know<\/em>, to live from their rules instead of your roots, to trust the voices of middlemen instead of the still, small voice inside you\u2014then they control you. If they can get you to mistrust yourself\u2014to stop feeling, deny knowing, quit imagining\u2014and instead rely only on them, then they can get you to act against your own soul. If that happens, they can get you to follow them, vote with them, condemn for them, even kill for them\u2014all in the name of this God who is constantly whispering to you: That is not exactly it<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On our life\u2019s calling:<\/strong><\/p>\n " We all want purpose and connection.<\/p>\n Tell me what breaks your heart, and I\u2019ll point you toward both.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On your new favorite nursery rhyme:<\/strong><\/p>\n " \u201cJesus loves me, this I know, for he gave me Lexapro.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I could very well be Glennon Doyle\u2019s biggest fangirl, and I just finished re-reading her memoir \u201cUntamed.\u201d Something in my spirit nudged me to go to the nearest bookstore and get my hands on another copy, as I\u2019d passed along my original as soon as I turned the final page.
