I really like how often Tabitha Bouldin writes characters who are in the process of working through big, painful issues. There’s depth and emotion and reactions that they’re not always proud of. But they don’t stay stuck forever, and they keep trying. Today’s book is another relatable struggle, and well worth reading.

Fear God Not Man: Encouragement, with a Challenge
When you fear God not man, you have so much more freedom! The pressure is so much lighter! To fear no one but God is an interesting dynamic, I think. Sometimes I manage to do this, and other times the fear of man (opinions, appearances, insults or even a general “hard time”) holds me back from doing what I know God wants of me.

(Matthew 10:26-33 NASB) 26 “Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed … Read More
