✨ Broken, Beautiful, and Beloved

What if our broken places are not something to hide, but part of what makes us beautifully human?

In our newest blog, Mary DeTurris Poust reflects on kintsugi, imperfection, and the reminder that through it all, we are beloved by God. 💛

What if the very things we see as flaws or brokenness are actually the places where beauty, connection, and belonging can grow? This moving reflection by retreat presenter Mary DeTurris Poust reminds us that we are imperfect, deeply loved, and never as alone as we think.

Some of the beliefs that shape us most deeply are the ones learned before we’re old enough to question them. Bon Secours Associate and retreat facilitator Mickey Reed shares how a friend’s ordinary text messages — and a surprising lesson about interruptions — began to unravel one of those beliefs and reveal truths about the way God loves us.

💙 What fills our hearts shapes the words we share with the world. In his latest reflection, *Speaking From the Heart*, Gordon Creamer invites us to consider how Jesus modeled truth, compassion, and tender mercy in the ways he listened and spoke to others.

✨ Created to CREATE.

There is something sacred about making space for creativity.

During our Created to CREATE Studio Weekend, artists, quilters, painters, woodcarvers, journalers, and makers of every kind stepped away from the busyness of everyday life to simply create. Each workspace reflected a unique gift, and watching ideas, encouragement, and inspiration flow throughout the weekend was a beautiful reminder that creativity is meant to be shared.

“He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work… as performers of every work and makers of designs.” — Exodus 35:35

Thank you to our talented retreat leader, Tara Mulder, and to everyone who joined us for a weekend of creativity, community, and renewal. We can’t wait to do it again! 🎨🧵🪵💛
