So that was fast…. Important, please read.

I want to share something honestly, and I’m not going to soften it.

When the Lord put Cracked Jar Collective on my heart, I knew it was Him. I still know it’s Him. That hasn’t changed.

But the way I wanted to start building it… hasn’t been aligned with the season I’m actually in.

I tried to step into something that looked like shepherding - creating a space where women could gather, be poured into, be supported, be led.

And shepherding is a beautiful calling.

But it’s also a heavy one.

Shepherding means:

showing up consistently
carrying people in prayer
holding space for their struggles
guiding, responding, leading in real time

It’s not just sharing truth.

It’s helping walk people through it.

And if I’m being completely honest… that weight hit me fast. I immediately felt that “WOAH - this is not right.”

Not because I don’t care.

But because I care too much to do that halfway.

And right now, the Lord is making it very clear that my first responsibility is to shepherd my own life well - to stay close to Him, to be present with my adult kids, to let Him continue to do deep work in me.

So I need to be obedient to that.

That means, for now, I’m going to be closing the community.

Not because the vision was wrong.

But because I tried to step into a role that isn’t mine to carry in this season.

Cracked Jar Collective is not going away.

If anything, I think it’s about to become more clear. It just won’t be a specific Skool community right now.

Because what I’m actually called to do right now is this:

To share.

To write.

To speak truth.

To point people back to Jesus.

There’s a difference between shepherding people and pointing people TO the Shepherd.

And right now, I’m called to the second.

I’m not the one anyone should be depending on.

He is.

So I’m going to keep showing up, just differently.

I’ll be sharing on TikTok, writing, finishing my study on James, creating devotionals… all the things the Lord has already placed in my hands.

But I won’t be trying to carry what He hasn’t asked me to carry.

If you’ve been here, supporting, encouraging, or even just quietly following along - thank you. Truly.

And if anything I share ever helps you, encourages you, or reminds you of who He is… that’s the goal.

This isn’t me stepping back.

This is me choosing obedience over pressure, clarity over expectation, and His voice over my own plans.

And I trust Him with what comes next.
