I loved this series. This is what my life has been leading to ever since I started praying "Break me and make me more like you" in 2022. It has been challenging for me to look at folks in different seasons of life having what looked like a more complete and fulfilling version of "giving they're life away." God has been slowly teaching me about where my personal field of ministry lies (in my home and in my kids' school and within the longstanding relationships I've kept with beautiful broken humans) and that it's not necessarily how I pictured it would be. But every day I'm surrendering, I'm asking for opportunities, for eyes to see... And he answers. Aaaaanyway. You asked what we want you to write about and that's what I meant to say here. I loved this thing you said in part one about the folks from younger generations, that "autonomy, or self-law is what Jesus sets us free from." Freedom from "freedom" I thought. I'd love to hear more on living counterculturally in this way, especially while in relationship with non-believers. Otherwise I trust that whatever God's putting on your heart to write will be exactly what we needed to hear.
Britt! Your words are always so encouraging and sweet!
I know that I'm in vocational ministry, but for me, I try to find the different ways in the "everyday and ordinary" (cliche phrase lol) to give my life away. It's hard to do, but it's necessary and life-giving when done with the right motive.
I love your summary of what I wrote: "freedom from 'freedom'". So good!!!
I'll definitely look at writing on this more because there is definitely way more to speak into about this cultural ideology and moment. Thank you for the suggestion!!!
Always love your support. Keeps me going with this writing thing! Miss you friend!
