Have you been hurt by the church? ⛪️In a society where faith deconstruction is trending, Jinger Duggar Vuolo fearlessly disentangles her identity and beliefs from the toxic teachings of Bill Gothard (Founder of the IBLP) in her memoir Becoming Free Indeed. Through a vulnerable exploration of her journey to liberation, Jinger dismantles the doctrines of obedience, authority, courtship, and more against the true teachings found within the Bible. Emerging from a past of judgment and fear, Jinger adopts a loving and gracious approach, celebrating diverse perspectives while directing readers toward the Messiah and the freedom He offers.“Becoming Free Indeed” captivated me with its sincerity. Rather than using this book to gossip about her family’s scandals, Jinger spends the majority of the time encouraging readers to rely on the Lord rather than human understanding and to stand in love. I particularly liked Jinger’s emphasis on unity among believers and living by God’s Word rather than fear, judgment, and religion. I was at church the other week, and something the pastor said fits perfectly with the theme of this book: “Truth as a religion can kill you, and grace without truth can kill you, but when truth and grace stand side by side each other, they bring life.”I pray Jinger Vuolo’s testimony in “Becoming Free Indeed” will be the start of others’ disentangling journeys and bring hope to those who have been wounded by abusive church leaders and false doctrines.Click the link to read more - inspire-truth.com/becoming-free-indeed/ #bookreview #bookstagram #duggars #duggarfamily #inspiretruth #becomingfreeindeed #bible #truth #memoir #faith #christian #jingerduggar #jingervuolo ...

Why do people say, “May your name be written in the Book of Life” on Yom Kippur / Day of Atonement? Judaism teaches that Jews achieve salvation through their works, so they observe ten days of awe each year, from the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah / Rosh Hashana) to Yom Kippur. During this time, they perform good deeds and seek forgiveness, hoping their names will appear in the Book of Life. However, as believers in the Messiah, we understand that salvation does not come through works (Ephesians 2:8-9). So, why do so many use this greeting? It truly baffles me because the Bible clearly states that eternal life can only come through the Messiah (John 14:6; 1 John 5).Yom Kippur is an incredible day where we set aside all distractions and focus solely on the One worthy of praise! Although we continue to afflict our souls (through fasting, disconnecting from technology, or as the Lord leads; the Bible is not specific) and take the day off work to remember what Yeshua did for us, it is not a day of worry or sorrow. Thanks to Yeshua, we don't need to fear that our salvation must be earned through good works and deeds because we have the assurance that our names are already written in Heaven (Luke 10:20). However, many are still lost and searching. So, instead of following unbiblical practices, I urge you to use this day to intercede for the restoration of Israel and that your nation (wherever you live) will discover their Savior, accept Yeshua's atonement, and break free from the chains that bind them (Read 1 Kings 8:33-34, 46-51; Romans 10:1-4).Click the link to read more about Yom Kippur / Day of Atonement - inspire-truth.com/the-significance-of-the-feasts-yom-kippur-day-of-atonement/#fallfeasts #yomkippur #bible #atonement #dayofatonement #inspiretruth #Yeshua #God #Salvation #grace #judaism ...

Do you believe in generational curses? ⚡️With her exceptional storytelling, Caroline George skillfully blends dark YA with thrilling suspense and rich folklore in her upcoming release, Curses and Other Buried Things (Available October 10th). Through her masterful narrative, this thought-provoking novel explores the power of words, the weight of generational curses, and the journey toward breaking free from the shackles of our past.While curses typically bring witches and magic to mind, this novel cleverly explores how curses are used in our everyday language. As it says in James 3:9-10, “With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing.”I’ll be honest; it took me time to understand the meaning behind Curses and Other Buried Things. I was so focused on Susanna’s curse and sleepwalking that I failed to grasp the impactful, real-life lessons and issues written within the story until I reached the author’s note. Caroline George’s words explaining her motivation to write this novel hit me like a punch in the gut, causing me to return to the beginning to re-analyze the characters through a brighter lens. It’s so easy to get lost in the words on a page, but the spaces between the lines often speak the loudest… if we let them.Curses and Other Buried Things is so much more than a dark YA novel; it’s a profound reminder that the past does not define you, nor does your bloodline!Click the link to read my full review and pre-order TODAY: inspire-truth.com/curses-and-other-buried-things/ 🤗#cursesandotherburiedthings #carolinegeorge #bookstagram #upcomingrelease #preorder #darkYA #YA #gothic #fiction #thomasnelson #bookish #inpspiretruth Thomas Nelson ...

Did you know the Feast of Trumpets is the only Biblical feast written about more in the New Testament than in the Old?Unlike the other feasts, there is no explanation in the Torah about why we should observe this feast; however, as we research the significance of the shofar (trumpet), we learn that it is a symbol of the Second Coming. So, while the Jews miss the importance of this day and will celebrate it as Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, this weekend, believers worldwide are grabbing their shofars to raise a shout in anticipation for the day of the Messiah’s return!“Blow the trumpet in Zion; for the day of the Lord is coming.” ~ Joel 2:1How are you celebrating this feast?Click to read more - inspire-truth.com/the-significance-of-the-feasts-yom-teruah-feast-of-trumpets/#feastoftrumpets #shofar #roshhashana #feast #biblicalfeast #torah #bible #secondcoming #thekingiscoming #inspiretruth ...

Have you ever written God a list of your wants/needs? How did He provide?Over the past three months, my family and I have been moving house. Without financial certainty or an idea of where we’d go once our lease ended, we fervently sought the Lord’s guidance and watched Him miraculously meet our every need! Each step of the journey was an act of surrender, entrusting the future to God, and embracing His will. And guess what? Even the things I believed were far-fetched were met!!Nothing is too small or big for our God. He knows what we need and will provide them at the perfect time. However, as it says in Proverbs 19:21, the key lies in relinquishing our plans so the Lord’s purpose can prevail.Are you tired of trying to conquer life’s obstacles with your own strength? Our human strength has its limits, but we serve a God capable of carrying our burdens and providing what we need. So, if you’re struggling to make ends meet or navigating a transition season, I encourage you to write down your requests and lay them at the Lord’s feet. The Bible promises that God will never leave or forsake us; when we ask, we shall receive. So, commit your ways to the Lord, releasing the burdens off your shoulders — which were never meant for you to bear alone — and watch the Lord establish His plans for your life! The outcome may not be what you expected, but I guarantee it’ll be better!“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” ~ Romans 8:28inspire-truth.com/word-of-encouragement-proverbs-16-3/#wordofencouragement #verseoftheday #bible #encourage #inspiretruth #God #transition #moving #allgoodthings #proverbs #godswill ...
