The Holy Handshake: LGBTQ+ Issues and Christians
What is the common ground between Christians who do not support LGBTQIA+ relationships and those who do?
We all walk through seasons when life feels heavy — when prayers go unanswered, when hope feels distant, or when we’re simply too tired to keep pretending everything’s okay. In those moments, we don’t need clichés. We need comfort. We need truth. And more than anything, we need reminders that God is still with us, right here in the middle of it all.
That’s why this space exists.
Biblical Encouragement is where I offer words drawn from the only source that never runs dry — God’s Word. Here, you’ll find devotionals, reflections, and prayers written to meet you in the messy, beautiful, painful, and sacred parts of life. Each post is an invitation to slow down, breathe deep, and remember who you are — and more importantly, who He is.
These aren’t sermons or step-by-step fixes. They’re gentle reminders. Soul-level truths. Anchors in the storm. Whether you’re navigating loss, waiting on a breakthrough, or simply needing a quiet place to rest your heart, my prayer is that you’ll find what you need here — not just encouragement for today, but courage for tomorrow.
So stay a while. Read, reflect, and let the Word do what it always does — restore, renew, and remind you that you are deeply known and dearly loved.

Bible reading plans are not for everyone. Here is what worked for me.
Adelaide was first gently nudged and then heftily shoved by God to start a blog in 2020 detailing her commitment to read the Bible thoughtfully in its entirety. She blogs about what God reveals to her in scripture, her ongoing battle with chronic anxiety, and her love for DIY projects.
