I’ve been meaning to comment on this but have been heavily involved in some system work at my workplace.

I remember this verse being quoted a LOT during my ubf fantasy. Romans 1:16 was repeated many times and I remember feeling ashamed each time I heard it. No I was not ashamed of Jesus or the gospel; I was ashamed of ubf. I always felt this nagging shame in the back of my soul. Why did my friends just disappear from the ministry so suddenly? Why won’t they talk to me any more? Many questions floated around in my mind.

So now here is my new list of things I am not ashamed of:

– I am NOT ashamed to love my family
– I am NOT ashamed to be labeled as the “R-Group”
– I am NOT ashamed to be family-centered
– I am NOT ashamed to make my OWN decisions
– I am NOT ashamed to REJECT shepherding theology
– I am NOT ashamed to NOT be a KOPHAN
– I am NOT ashamed to be the #1 vocal critic of ubf ministry
– I am NOT ashamed to be AMERICAN
– I am NOT ashamed to say I love all my LGBTQ friends and family
– I am NOT ashamed to stay home from church so I can detox

But she was still loved! There is probably some message in that sentence somewhere. Maybe to love even when it causes you discomfort :)
