It Gets Better
Even in challenging times, there's always hope.
A couple years ago, I was invited to give a keynote address at the Q Christian Fellowship Conference (formerly Gay Christian Network). I shared my own story and a word of encouragement from Isaiah 61. Whether you identify as LGBTQ or not, may it offer you hope in difficult times.
These three questions can help you reflect on your own life as you watch/listen to the video below (or click here).
In what ways have you felt exiled? How have you navigated social pressures to hide ways that you are different?
How does my reading of Isaiah encourage you to hold onto the Bible as a life-giving resource? How might good interpretation be a form of resistance against those who would weaponize the Bible?
God tells us through the prophet Isaiah, “It gets better.” How does that give you hope in your own life?
Karen, thank you for this encouraging word, ‘It gets better’
Here’s how I know that I am hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit- ‘In the presence of the Holy Spirit I always know my worth.’ Thank you for putting into words what the Holy Spirit has done to me that I have felt in the core of my being for over 40 years as a believer.
