Finding Hope in the Midst of Defeat

September 29, 2016

It’s a tough world out there; I say we lean in together.

 

I received a letter from a defeated stepmom. Her multi-layered complex stepfamily story shouted defeat. There’s drug addiction. The courts are involved. And in-laws who have legal custody of the children are making it tough. It’s really a difficult situation. And then there are those who say, “Well you got into this mess, you just have to get yourself out.” That’s not helpful. This stepmom is trying to be part of the solution. Let’s bring the power of the church to her side and lean in with her.
