What a great read! Well done on the dancing. I am processing someone telling you that you had a Jezebel spirit!! You are exactly right when you say that at the heart of these laws and rebukes is fear. I see this in the church all the time, a fear of people being truly themselves, being alive, rather than some legalistic caricature. Thank you so much for mentioning my book and the launch! I appreciate your support so much!

Love the mental picture of you dancing in the living room while your children were watching. Interesting piece, Bethany. You two look fab! x

I always loved the word Jezebel, to me she’s a fiery and sensual spirit in all the most powerful incredible ways!

'But when the things to which we belong constrain us and keep us out of sync with the rhythm of our life, it is necessary to walk, or even dance, away.'

Thank you for these words today Bethany 💜
