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.

Recently, my little heart has been stirring rather […]

Lay it Down and Rest

Megan Byers A deep appreciation for reading was instilled in me at a young age. Some of my earliest childhood memories are of my parents reading to me before bed. Each Christmas, my relatives gifted me with more books and asked me which books were my new favorites. In elementary school, I read so many […]

May We Never Lose Our Wonder

Freedom, Megan Byers, Mind

By Megan Byers I’ve been living at home.  They say more and more 23-year-olds move back in with their parents after college, and your girl is one of ‘em.  I always thought I would do “great” things. I thought I would go live a life of grandeur and adventure, a life not in the city […]

Rest

By Anna Boehk  I have spent years looking for the perfect planner. I tried customizable. Bullet journaling. Spiral-bound notebooks or blank journals. I got a leather-bound, then I got a mini, then a big one. I researched the fads. Every year I would try a new one, and every year – inevitably – I would […]
