By Cassi Cox Prayer and worship tend to be much different experiences for me than they are for those I share community with. It’s taken some time for me to recognize that this difference affects how I engage in faith-based community and the trust that I develop with other members of my community regarding myContinue reading “Give It To Me NOW”

Joseph and Potipher’s Wife
Flee from Sexual…Assault? If you have been in church circles for any length of time like I have, you have heard the sermon about fleeing from sexual immorality.

Coach B was theContinue reading “Cross Country Saved My Life”
Boundaries Aren’t Easy

I no longer justify it under the banner of, “but they’re family…” I’m not a child anymore and I’m certainly not naive and helpless. I have a choice here too, and I choose not to participate.” Recently, I drew a hard boundary. ToContinue reading “Boundaries Aren’t Easy”
