Dear White People: We Need To Stop This Insanity

Last updated on: July 7, 2016 at 12:50 pm By Kerry Connelly

This is Part One in what will be a series focusing on justice in race issues. I’d love to include more voices than mine in this discussion. If you would like to submit a guest post, please send me an email at [email protected]. __________________________________________ Something is broken in America. Only white people can fix it. This morning, I knew I wanted to write about Alton Sterling, but I was too disgusted. With myself. I was disgusted... Read more

Jesus Broke Me and Made Me Free

Last updated on: July 5, 2016 at 10:37 am By Kerry Connelly

There is something to be said about the way Jesus broke me, brought me to him, curled himself around me to draw me to him and to my calling. Yes, my calling. A few days ago, I wrote a post about destiny. Seriously, I know I make people mad, but I am always kind of amazed at what they get pissed about. It’s never about what I expect it to be. And this time, it was because I... Read more

Cray-Cray Is As Cray-Cray Blogs On The Inter-Webs: A Christian Response (Jersey-style) to Jennifer Mayers

Last updated on: July 1, 2016 at 3:26 pm By Kerry Connelly

Have you ever been, say, walking through the park with a friend, when all of a sudden, a kid leading a T-Rex on a leash walks by? And your friend turns to you and says, “These things only happen when you’re around?” That happened to me a few months ago. Okay, it was a guy wearing a dinosaur suit, but still. You get the idea. And that whole experience is sort of what it’s like to read the... Read more

You Need To See This: Bart + Tricia Say Something

Last updated on: June 29, 2016 at 10:38 am By Kerry Connelly

You’ve probably already seen this, but if you haven’t — watch. This is an amazing cover of the song Say Something, but it’s got a twist at the end that I promise, will give you chills. If you’ve ever felt like God was just MIA in your life, if you’ve ever felt like you were just at the end of your rope and God must be busy doing God stuff, watch this video all the way to the end. I’m happy... Read more

Living Before Destiny

Last updated on: June 30, 2016 at 8:08 am By Kerry Connelly

When I’m not pretending to be J.K. Rowling with a pious side — not that I’m saying J.K. Rowling isn’t pious, I really have no idea, she was just the first author that came to mind — I’m a coach and consultant who is obsessed with helping people uncover the destiny God has waiting for them, like a present on a dusty shelf just waiting to be brought home, wrapped up, and given away to its perfectly suited owner. And... Read more

Sin Lineage: On Jesus, Dysfunctional Families + The Ties That Bind

Last updated on: June 28, 2016 at 7:25 am By Kerry Connelly

I fall in love with Jesus, with God, over and over again the more I learn about Him. It’s why my soul longs to go get a degree in Bible studies — there’s just so much Jesus in the Bible, and Jesus is mind blowing. Even a simple list of names, a family tree, can inspire awe in just how thought-through this whole Messiah thing is, just how complete and far reaching salvation can be. Even, believe it or not,...

The Angry Jesus Freak: On Trump the Baby Christian

Last updated on: June 26, 2016 at 8:27 am By Kerry Connelly

I have a confession to make. Probably, I have many confessions to make. But the one I’m making today is that I’m a big, fat, judge-y cynic. I’ve been disgusted by the seemingly-obvious-and-yet-successful manipulation by Donald Drumpf of the Evangelical-slash-political engine, this camp that purports to want a Christian in the White House, but seems so intent on getting a Republican in the White House that they could ignore some pretty horrific and hateful behavior in their candidate. Behavior... Read more

Bone Broth Love: Gay Marriage, The Jesus Banquet, + Inconvenient Attractions

Last updated on: June 22, 2016 at 7:26 am By Kerry Connelly

In the end, this is the one that got me: Do unto others. As I quietly (okay, not always so quietly) tried to navigate through the choppy waters of how Christianity approaches the topic of homosexuality, it was these words from Jesus that finally pushed me over the proverbial rainbow to the side of affirmation.

Jesus: Peter’s Beautiful Addiction

Last updated on: June 21, 2016 at 9:47 pm By Kerry Connelly

Of all the disciples, I think I love Peter the most, for all of his silly buffoonery, bluster, and the fact that I can relate to all of it. Peter, the man who is desperate to always be Jesus’ favorite, who puts clothes on to jump into the water, whose passion and desire to be good and pleasing to both God and people often leads him to sin. Out of all the disciples, Peter probably was the least emotionally... Read more

Hey, Church! Here’s Our Chance to Not Be Assholes

Last updated on: June 26, 2016 at 8:30 am By Kerry Connelly

Hey church — heads up. Here’s our chance to show the love of Jesus to the world. A chance to demonstrate radical grace, to care for the broken, like our beautiful Savior has done for us. I don’t want to seem opportunistic. I think what I’m saying here is: let’s not be assholes this time. (more…) Read more
