Welcome to the 30-Day Digital Fast for the Soul. If you are participating fully, this is where you anchor the practice. After reading each day’s passage and completing the soul-sitting: Share one of the following in the comments: • A sentence that stood out to you • A realization about yourself • A pattern you noticed • A question the text raised • A resistance you felt You do not need to impress anyone. You do not need to sound spiritual. You do not need to agree with the text. Something shifts when you put your experience into words. You don’t need to be polished. You don’t need to sound wise. You don’t need to agree with everything. Just be honest. Some days it will feel clear. Some days it will feel confronting. Some days you’ll want to skip. That’s part of it. This isn’t about being perfect for 30 days. It’s about noticing who you are when you stay. Let the reading work on you. Let it unsettle you if it needs to. Let it affirm you if it does. We’re not rushing through this. We’re walking it. And I’m right here with you. Sandi🌹❤ Link back to Course Page

Hi, I'm Monique. I found you through this community through Sistership Circle FB group. I am currently reading Anna, Grandmother of Jesus which my "auntie" housemates loaned to me. It turns out she has been initiated into the Magdalene order (I'm not sure what that means yet)... but it's beautiful and she is a wonderful human. I chose to follow Christ when I was 6 years old. My mom ran away from a religious and abusive environment when she was 12 and found her way back to church-God when she was around 27...I was 6. It was our long haired hippy pastor landlord couple downstairs that shared with me about Jesus! When I heard his name...it sounds like magical sparkling flying unicorns with rainbows. I was like who is that!? She was sharing with us basic bible stories for kids but there was so much more energy on it!!! No, really! WHO is that!!!? I asked mom...she told me...we knelt down in the living room and I said I want to be Jesus friend..."come live in my heart"... I'd learn later he was there all along. But that's how it started (with words) for me! From then on Jesus and I were best friends. I went to church...I liked it more than mom...she was a single divorced woman but I was a happy child...though I eventually picked up on people's weirdness towards her. Obviously NOT Jesus-like. So yah...I was on the youth leadership team and worship team, I read my Bible, I did't kiss a boy until I was 18. I enjoyed the community, the potlucks, the playmates, the friendships, all that good stuff!!! Life altering kindness (despite weirdness)! No regrets. But then in my later 20's I just couldn't feel great at church anymore... I was at one church...some people called it the last church they would ever go to because it was hip, cutting edge, small, granola-like, social justice minded, down to earth, honoured artists, served those on the streets etc...all that is true. And yet, there was also some weird clicky-ness (human behaviour really) and no hugs weirdness (as always - eye roll- ...except for the friendly warm hearted happily married Aussie pastor. Thank God!). But that church was really focused on the sadness, the mourning and the lamenting. Lord have mercy!

Hello. I love finding others who love Mary Magdalene. I have been so drawn to her for years.. Around 8 years ago I awoke from a dream and heard a voice that said "St Anne". I am not Catholic and I had no idea who that was. My search brought me to the Mother of Mary, the grandmother of Jesus...and then a whole world began to open to me... the Divine Feminine, Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary... Like a flower, the way began to unfold. I love the way of the Rose. For now, it has brought me here.🌹❤️
