Hi friends and welcome to the Arise, Beloved blog. We have an amazing team of writers behind this blog and our desire is to speak truth into the lies that cripple us and shine light into the darkness that isolates us because we believe that now, more than ever, the Church desperately needs women to be restored so that the world can be set ablaze. Our hope is that you find comfort, solace, and peace in knowing that you are not alone, you are not too far gone and there is ALWAYS hope to be found.

Seeing people exactly where they are and loving them through it, walking with them in the mess. The choice of loving that person has always been easy. But what has not been easy […]
By Megan Byers I learned this past summer that I am not a patient person. I was in the car with a friend. As I was about to reverse out of my parking spot, I noticed a sweet, old couple getting into the car next to me. It seemed like it took them an eternity. […]
