Leaf it to me to begin a blog post with a pun.đ
Speaking of leaves, this last weekâs message at church was EPIC⊠It was all about the things we use to hide behind or camouflage as a result of shame, guilt, or fear. Just like Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden, we too try to cover-up our shortcomings with âleavesâ.
Whether weâre trying to escape God (or even others), we canât run or hide forever. Sooner or later, our true selvesâthe good & the badâwill be revealed.
Whether itâs faking a false version of oneself, serving just to âlook the partâ, or always staying surface-level in community, thereâs no need to live a life that is anything less than authentic. Why? Because we have complete & totalll freedom in Jesus. HIS GRACE has set us free.

Sis, I donât know where youâre at these days or if thereâs something youâre hiding out of shame, guilt, or fear. Maybe thereâs a certain sin youâve kept secret… or some leftover regret you feel for X, Y, and Z⊠or a part of your past you wished would just disappearâŠ
We all have something. But what do you do with your shameâdo you go to God or do you hide behind leaves like Adam & Eve? Â
Whatever it is, thereâs nothing too big for Him to forgive or heal. Romans 8:1 says, âThere is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.â Accepting that gift of forgiveness is the first step in removing the âleavesâ and stepping into true intimacy and relationship with God & our community!
So letâs leave that guilt behind, girl… Because this is who we were created to be: grace-filled & guilt-free!
