Silence was my protection. I now know that silence is not, in fact, golden. But in those moments when words would bring embarrassment or shame, silence was my best friend. I welcomed it because it kept the questions and gossip and chaos away from me.

For years, I wore the smile, played the part, and did my best to follow all the unspoken rules of what it meant to be a “good church girl.” But behind the quiet compliance was a heart full of questions, pain, and deeply human struggles. Confessions of a Church Girl breaks the silence and walks you through a journey toward hope and healing. It’s a real, raw, grace-filled exploration of what it truly means to love God and people.

This book is for the ones who love Jesus but feel the weight of their imperfections. It’s for those who’ve been wounded by the Church, as well as those brave enough to admit they’ve done some of the wounding too. It's an honest look at what it means to wrestle with faith, failure, forgiveness, and the fierce, unrelenting grace of God.

If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong in the church, this is your invitation to come anyway. Not because you’re perfect, but because you’re not. Because the person sitting next to you isn’t perfect either.

Confessions of a Church Girl isn’t a call to perfection. It’s a call to authenticity. It’s about what happens when we admit we got it wrong and let grace lead us forward.

“And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” - Habakkuk 2:2-3
