What Moana Taught Me About Trauma

Instagram

I was talking with my husband this weekend about how haunted I am by all the times I evangelized to someone without their consent. When I worked in ministry, it was a LITERAL box we had to check after serving a client on our paperwork: "did you present the gospel to the client? Did the client receive Christ?" We weren't allowed to provide free services to people who really needed help without subjecting them to a gospel presentation. It was disgustingly transactional and I feel sick about being a part of it. To the hundreds of people I awkwardly preached to over the years, I'm so sorry. You deserved kindness and support with ZERO strings attached. 🖤
