I serve as the Content and Community Manager for The Network, a role that I truly love. I have a passion for connecting people and am grateful to see how God is at work in the CRC and beyond. I'd love to answer any of your questions and help you get involved!
Trudy, I think you hit the nail on the head with this post. We naturally seek out places where we belong. Places we feel safe, seen, and loved. When this is what our church home feels like, it's huge. Thank you for writing this!
I love this story. I'm deeply encouraged by how you followed God's call (not easy to say the least) and how God surrounded you overseas by other ordained women. How cool!
Thank you for this! We have much to learn from each other and it's amazing what happens when we take the time to truly listen and understand.
Also, I haven't historically been a fan of puzzles, but they are growing on me. I like how, as you said, they can help us unwind and focus our minds. That's huge.
This is powerful. Thank you for the tangible examples and for the truth spoken here: When students have active faith, it changes how they handle every situation in their lives.
