The Good Christian: lies that Christians believe
As Christians, it’s easy to fall into the trap that says we have to be perfect. It’s easy to believe that if we’re broken, God must be disappointed in us.

Mom’s face was filled with concern as she stared at our nearly empty bathroom closet. She sighed and turned to me. “Vision, it’s almost gone.” Fear thumped loudly in my ears as I processed the sheer weight of her words.
