Free to Love or Free to Fear

Last updated on: August 31, 2020 at 10:41 am By Danielle Kingstrom

For a brief moment, I thought I was free from insecurity. For a brief time, I believed that I didn’t have any self-worth challenges to overcome. I believed I was confident, courageous, and conscious. And within just a few seconds of my husband telling me he spoke to a woman on the phone, everything I thought I knew about myself was pulled out and I lost it in the air. I remember a time in our relationship where my husband... Read more

W.A.P. with the Bible: Cardi B, Proverbs, and Song of Songs

Last updated on: August 30, 2020 at 12:50 pm By Danielle Kingstrom

Photo by Malvestida Magazine on Unsplash “If it isn’t in the Bible, then it’s not truth!” This is one of the most common authoritative stances Christians take when anything is presented to us that makes us feel uncomfortable. If we can swish it away with some verses from scripture, we can righteously condemn it and be on our way. I think that’s exactly what people had hoped would happen with the Cardi B collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion for the... Read more

#SaveTheChildren by Talking About Sex

Last updated on: August 10, 2020 at 10:34 am By Danielle Kingstrom

#SaveTheChildren I am going to tell you something that might offend you, but it needs to be said. Unless you are changing your own views about human sexuality, unless you are engaging in conversations that redirect “taboo” topics to make them more comfortable to talk about, your hashtag won’t change a damn thing. I am on board with you, don’t get me wrong. I want to end pedophilia, sex-trafficking, sex slavery, and the manipulation and exploitation of children every bit... Read more

Maybe Boobs = God?

Last updated on: August 9, 2020 at 4:24 pm By Danielle Kingstrom

God’s gracious action in creation belongs from the first to that delight, pleasure, and regard that the Trinity enjoys from eternity, as an outward and unnecessary expression of that love; and thus creation must be received before all else as gift and as beauty. ... Read more

Girls’ Bodies Aren’t Responsible for Boy’s Thoughts, nor Women’s Thoughts

Last updated on: August 7, 2020 at 5:41 pm By Danielle Kingstrom

I think I am still surprised when others express narrow views of sexuality, despite how common it is. I may live in such a shielded bubble that when I step outside of it to confront the harsh reality, it kind of slaps me in the face. I mean, I still turn the other cheek, but the spontaneity of it all still rouses an initial reactionary defense. A meme that was shared by a friend roused reactionary defenses of purity and...

Competition Consumption or Conviction of the Kingdom?

Last updated on: July 25, 2020 at 11:29 am By Danielle Kingstrom

I am really tired. Tired of the games, the clicks, the competition, the comparisons, all of it. It seems that to be in this world—this literary world in which we sell our advice and “expertise” to others in a book or download or blog— requires that we not only belittle others who may pose a threat to our mission or our climb up the ranks, but we must pimp ourselves out and focus solely on how great we think we...

Agree with Me, or Else! Diversity Deficiency in Agreement

Last updated on: June 28, 2020 at 11:41 am By Danielle Kingstrom

Agree with me or else! If you don’t agree with me, that means you are a racist, capitalist-loving, sexist, homophobic bigot that refuses to acknowledge their own privilege and participation within the systemic racist structure that you had no choice as to being born into. Agree with me or else, just as easily as I can say you were born a sinner, I can now say you were born a racist. Your skin color says it all. Agree with me... Read more

Eclipse Energy: The Great Revealing

Last updated on: June 23, 2020 at 10:34 am By Danielle Kingstrom

Are we entering a Great Awakening? Are the fires that are burning in cities and in our hearts preparing us for refinement and transformation? What will the eclipse deliver to us as its great revelation? What has been concealed is now being revealed. Do you have eyes to see it and ear to hear it? It’s interesting that during one of the most tumultuous months of 2020, our solar system has presented not one eclipse, but two this June. An... Read more

Let’s Stop Attacking Authenticity

Last updated on: June 23, 2020 at 10:28 am By Danielle Kingstrom

I have an affinity for those who take a huge leap of faith and reveal themselves so transparently that initially, it seems like over-exposure. We all know people that we call “over-sharers.” They are the people who tell you their whole life story in the first 5 minutes you meet them and leave you feeling honored by the authenticity and awkwardly responding with sound effects instead of audible words. I particularly enjoy watching them overshare with others. I like to... Read more

Conversation Can End Condemnation

Last updated on: June 22, 2020 at 11:03 am By Danielle Kingstrom

Conversations are controversial because there is a potential to understand that which you oppose. Once one is willing to understand the thing that they originally opposed, there is no longer opposition—which means there is no longer division. Can you imagine what the world could look like if we left the opportunistic potentiality of division by the wayside and discovered we are all One? Conversations are ways in which we connect to Other. A connection operates on the same frequency that... Read more
