Sometimes, the beliefs about God we take for granted need to be left behind. As a young adult, a conflict with her parents forced Eunice Lee to confront and choose between two incompatible beliefs. On the one hand, obedience to God had always been synonymous with obedience to her parents. But, on the other, God's authority was supreme, and now she felt God guiding her to act contrary to her parents' wishes. This collision left Eunice confused, depressed, and questioning what she knew about God. She fell into toxic, exhausting cycles while serving in the church, unable to understand why doing everything "right" left her depleted and guilt-ridden. Where was the abundant life God had promised? Little did she know how much her paradigm for faithful Christian living came from influences inconsistent with the voice of God- even within the church! Slowly, eventually, God led Eunice toward a more robust theology. She deconstructed faulty old narratives and built new ones that propelled her toward a healthier self, more balanced relationships, and a freeing faith-one more closely aligned with God's intentions. Eunice offers her story because she believes that God wants this for you too.
