Three Ways the Quarantine Prepared Me For My Son Leaving for College

Trusting Jesus While Preparing to Move My Son to College in Another State

By Missy Eversole /

Three weeks from today, the dynamics in our house will change. There will be a seat empty at the kitchen table. There will be only one child to get out the door for school. The house will be a little quieter without that infectious laugh that I have heard throughout the years. And if I…

When church hurts, it can shake everything you believe.
This week on Bold Faith Now, I’m talking with Anna Vaughn, author of “Caught in the Crossfire,” about spiritual abuse—what it is, how it hides behind “ministry,” and how God meets us in the aftermath.

We talk about:
* Red-flag warning signs in churches and ministries
* How abuse twists Scripture and controls people through fear
* The slow, beautiful work of healing, forgiveness, and freedom in Christ

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is what I’m experiencing normal?” or “Does God see what happened to me?”—this episode is for you. 

Episode 94 of the Bold Faith Now Podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and at missyeversole.com

Christmas is a gentle reminder that God came near.

Emmanuel—God with us.

Today and always.

Merry Christmas!

Today, we light the Christ Candle at the center of the Advent wreath, the center of our hope, and the center of our lives.

Throughout Advent, we’ve waited…
 for Hope,
 for Peace,
 for Joy,
 for Love.

And today we remember the One who is all of these.

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11 (ESV)

The Christ Candle shines brightly because the Light of the World has come.

Jesus is not distant, not silent, and not unreachable.

Jesus is Emmanuel — God with us.

No matter what this year has held, no matter what emotions the holidays bring, Jesus steps into our story with a love that doesn’t flicker or fade.

May His light fill your home and your heart, and remind you that you are loved by the Savior who stepped down from His throne for you and for me. 

Merry Christmas, sweet friend. He is here!
