I don't go to church the way I used to. I used to sit on the front row, hand raised, tithing on a paycheck I didn't really have — because I believed in it.
Then I saw too much that didn't sit right: preaching about giving from a thousand-dollar suit while a sister in the back couldn't afford food. I watched a woman call a church because her baby needed milk and get turned away with excuses smooth as silk — and it was a mosque, and one small church, that finally said yes. I sat there asking God what we were even doing.
So now my church is wherever I am. From my living room, I still pray. He said He'd be with us always — He never put a building on it.
Where do you feel closest to God right now — and does it have to look like anyone else's idea of church?
Have a story that needs a song?
Some stories are too deep for ordinary words. I help turn personal stories, testimonies, love stories, grief journeys, family memories, and life experiences into custom songs.
