Love this blog! I had a Christian friend once say to me about a gay American Idol contestant, “We can love him, but we don’t have to watch or accept him.” I was so confused!!! How can we love someone without accepting them? How can we love someone while keeping them at a heart-distance? How can that person know and trust love with such a distance? God said all sins are equal, right? How are her judgments any less sinful than his sexual orientation? It is these kinds of double-messages that have kept me confused for years. Thank you God for the clarity!!! And thank you Glennon 🙂

I hope this series never ends! It lights up my world EVERY TIME, especially this one! Sooo much love and inspiration, for EVERY KIND of person! Thank you for reminding me every day that i will never be alone! Much, much love…

I keep coming back to this video. Its truths. I am so buoyed by this truth. Ghandi mentioned the beauty of Christianity but for the actions of Christians. May I not be a judgmental one, but rather one who stands for the FIRST commandment of Christ: Love one another.

Shame is a tool of the devil. Done. Enough said.

Hi, i think that i noticed you visited my weblog thus i got here to
return the desire?.I am trying to to find things to improve
myy web site!I suppose its ok to use a few of your concepts!!

I’m just…. I cried. This was perfect. G, thank you for making a safe space in the world for me. Thank you for following your calling and speaking the truth.

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text
in your content seem to be running off the screen in Chrome.

I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue
or something to do with internet browser compatibility
but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design
look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon.
Many thanks

Howdy! Someone in my Myspae group shared this website with us so I came too
take a look. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking
and will be tweeting this to my followers! Wonderful blog and great style and design.

Awww man, I love this so much. so, so, so much!!!

I have just recently discovered your Blog and I love it so much. I spent most of my weekend reading past posts to get to know you and your followers. It was very nourishing for me. I love this video. How dare someone, a Christian no less, comment on how much or how little shame another person carries in their heart? How dare they attempt to cage another person in the name of Jesus? Keep speaking. Many of us are listening and growing and healing thanks to your courage.

Yes! Do you know the work of Nadia Bolz-Weber? Author of Pastrix? I hope so – you’d get along so well!!

I wanted to say, “Amen!” and it was said. I wanted to say, “LOVE!” and it was said. I wanted to say, “Yes, grace, yes!” and it was said. Finally, I thought, I need to thank Jesus for Glennon. “HALLELUJAH!”

AMEN. I think when the POPE has been quoted as saying, “Who am I to judge [other people]?” then certainly the rest of us have no right or reason to point fingers, demand that people act ashamed, or deny anyone’s right to God-given grace and forgiveness when they admit they have done wrong and are repentant for it. Jesus spent time with the outcasts who wanted to be forgiven and live better lives. He forgave them and said, “Go and sin no more.” He didn’t say, “Oh, and you’d better hang your head in shame for the rest of your life, too.” Isn’t he the one we are supposed to try to be like? Dance, Warriors!

Amen sister! AMEN.

Dance at that party because YES JESUS told you, He loves you AS YOU ARE. Be fully you! And keep spreading it!

Glennon, once again thank you. I came to Momastery today because I am hurting. I am healing but I am hurting. So I came here for some self care – to find some inspiration – and then I cried even more! But that was good too. Tears are good for our Soul I think, and the kind of tears you inspire are beautiful. I love your bravery, I love your no holds barred approach to Christianity, I love that you live in your Truth and you are not afraid to step out in it. My religious experience as a Christian was filled with shame and I stepped away from it. I don’t identify myself as a Christian any longer -but I do think the Bible provides some of the greatest wisdom on Earth, and man am I a huge fan of Jesus. I am always so confused when people who claim to also be fans of Jesus seem to forget that Jesus forgave. Everything. Jesus said follow me. He didn’t say worship me. I think that means follow in my footsteps, follow in my example. Love. Forgive. Love. Forgive. Love. Forgive. I don’t think it means go to church one day a week in my honor and then judge everyone else the other 6 days. Just sayin’. Sister On and much love to this community.

LOVE.

I am so proud of you and your comments. So many “Christians” have given Christianity a bad rap. My daughter turned away from the church for this very reason. The “holier than thou” concept runs rampant in so many churches today. Perhaps this is something that should be preached each week. So glad that you started the movement. Thank you for all that you are and all that you do.

I know a woman who posted this on her facebook page who had an affair with my husband. She was my neighbor and my friend for 8 years. She has never apologized, her husband is divorcing her, they had 5 kids, she had to sell her home, she does not have my husband, (I am still married to him),but she thinks she is above reproach because she thinks she has grace. I think grace is real, but I also think it only works when you admit you were wrong and stop doing the wrong thing you are doing.She ruined so many lives as well as my husband, but for me, I have no reason to believe she has ended the affair with my husband. Mostly I think she feels she is excused because she thought they were “in love” but obviously they weren’t. Being rowdy and dropping the keys is great, but if you don’t admit you were wrong how can grace truly affect your future?

YOU are a light amidst this sometimes shady space called Christianity. KEEP. SPEAKING. Thank you, thank you.

This is so beautiful and so true! It’s really all about grace!! Thanks for speaking this truth in a way that so many people will hear 🙂

I’m seriously in love with you. You speak the innermost of my thoughts every time I read. Dance on sister!

Grace is the only buzz I have left. <3

Grace is the only buzz I have left, and they will take it from my cold, dead hands!

Damn right, girl. I feel ya.

I. can’t. stop. watching. this.
thankyouverymuch

Grace, grace, God’s grace,
grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
grace, grace, God’s grace,
grace that is greater than all our sin!

Amen, Sister Glennon. Preach it.

Lady, you are a prophet. Keep on preachin’.

This is so freaking fantastic. You gave me such a sense of freedom and a key to unlock the cage.

Love you!!!!! Thank you for sharing your heart!!! You are fantastic. So real. So authentic. You get it. I am not ashamed of my past either, and in my case it is really my family’s past – history of mental illness and suicide (my dad is a pastor). I have been what others consider crazy and revealed it all because He told me to tell my story so that others would be blessed. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being brave enough to challenge us all. blessings, jana

Wow. Just fantastic. Thank you…

“Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither will you be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth” Isaiah 54:4
I literally read that today for the first time and immediately it came to mind when I saw this….

My Cold Dead Hands:)

You have NO idea how timely this message is for me…as my own newly sweet sixteen daughter goes in tomorrow to end a pregnancy…such a struggle for me as a mom, yet I feel so at peace because I do know that God is gracious and forgiving…and so must I be. Thank you for this!

~a

Simply put … Amen Glennon. Amen.

So well said, Glennon. Christians forget that sin is sin, no matter how big or small. Forgiveness and Grace allow us to move forward and be better – keep moving forward!

“Grace is the only buzz I have left…and they will take it from my cold, dead hands.” Excellent, Glennon. Beautiful!

Thank you for your words. So many Christians forget about Grace. How can it be so easily forgotten? You simply need to read about Paul (and how he used to be Saul-the guy who persecuted and murdered Christians before he became a Christian himself).

Can I just say thank you, thank you, thank you. Your blog has meant so much to me but it wasn’t until I watched your blog today that I just had to let you know how much i love you! Thank you for walking in such grace and for bringing all the shame from your past into the light! The message of Jesus is a message of grace! Thank you for reminding us to dance!!

Was going to ask this at the end of the Frozen post, but chickened out…but then read this too, & it brought it home to me even more that it’s a question I need to ask…
What if you can’t remember where you hid your extra, because you were so judged & squashed by people who should have just loved you for who you were? I just can’t find it or the keys to the cage & I think they might have been lost forever.
I seem to spend so much energy & time on others, & willingly, but I’ve lost myself, & I need to find myself because I just seem to feel sadder & sadder.

Love this so much. And it strikes me that Christians so often find new things to be ashamed of and curl up in them and worry, rather than heading straight to God. Are we mad? We waste time snacking on guilt when we have the feast of grace!

Since this morning when I watched your video, it has been a life changing experience for me today. “Forgiven” ” Shameless” “Grace” those are words that kept running through my head all day. After many years of guilt, shame, not being able to be the real me. The light bulb clicked on and I can stand in the light. Thank you for being so real. Im actually for once in my life excited to see where this journey is going to take me. Ive been freed.

Oh G…you are so right on.
As a 60+ yr old grammy, I love your blog and loved your book.
I meet with young girls in their 20’s and early 30’s and encourage them to read you. I’ve followed Jesus for 42 years and GRACE is what it is ALL ABOUT. Even after walking with Him this long, I long to be more grace giving…In fact, its My “word” for this year.
Thanks for how real and vulnerable you are.
CARRY ON WARRIOR!!

I’ve been struggling a lot lately with this grace thing so I really needed this message right now. Thank you, Glennon, for putting yourself out there. I feel as though some day I will be able to come out of my cage and live in the light, too.

G, you live your life with grace, as do I & I thank you for helping me forgive myself..
with love, appreciation & grace,
xoxo
cathy

I love you. I know that may be a funny thing to say to a stranger, but I’ve been reading your stuff for a few months now and thinking this all along, always feeling too shy to post… and then watching this video, it was like my heart cracked right open, and the love and gratitude were just overwhelming, overflowing, and I had to tell you.

I love your blog so much that I sometimes think it’s sinful because I read it more regularly than my bible. As a 26 year old woman who believes desperately in grace and love I have a problem with “the church” in a lot of ways. This so clearly sums up what I want and what I believe Jesus wants for His people. Thanks for being awesome!

Preach!

Hi – as one of the original caravaner’s to Ottawa to shut down Parliament over the Abortion Laws I can tell you stories of the women caught by a shameless society.Women shamed into backstreet or lysol or needles to fix their mistakes.
I have never regreted my own abortion only that the education wasn’t there to prepare us to handle life. I am now well into awareness of higher realms but like you I struggle with Christians who don’t seem to live what they profess to believe. tc.

I love this post, Glennon. Your energy, your eyes, your ability to express so beautifully what so many of us need to hear – thank you, thank you, thank you. I am grateful for the ways in which you have dropped so many cell-opening keys for me over these many months that I have been reading your blog and your book. Thank you for setting such a great example of telling the truth even when others so adamantly try to shut you/us/me up and put you/us/me back into a cage. Thank you for reminding us to drop keys ourselves and keep on moving because there is so much for all of us to do. May deep peace, uncontainable joy, boundless love and soul-deep healing continually be yours, my friend.

Loving it even more the second time, and I have commented elsewhere(s) already, but one thing that hit me the first time then got blown away by the rest was the idea that your comfort level is where you know what the “rules” are. I totally get that. And it’s so darned limiting! It’s still hard for me to step out, but what I am learning from you and the Monkees is leading me in the right direction. Thank you, Glennon, and thank you, Monkees.

Thank you, Glennon, for dropping the keys to my cage. Because now I am fre to do it for others.

Beautiful Glennon!
Thanks for this lovely reminder:)

Beautiful. Just freaking beautiful. Loved it.

Wonderful.

“The only folks who shame others are those who are living in shame themselves. That is just a fact, Jack. So if anyone tries to re-cage you- you just remember that THEY, THEMSELVES ARE CAGED. They cannot get to you. You are FREE. And so you drop them a key. You lovingly show them what freedom looks like, sounds like, tastes like. And then you walk away. You keep moving. Because you’ve got shit to DO.

You can drop a key, but you CANNOT MAKE FOLKS USE IT. That’s up to them.You keep moving.” ~Glennon

I could write an entire essay of appreciation and affection and ALL the reasons why this post and that comment are SO perfect for me today – but I’ll keep it simple, and simply say: 1.) thank you! and 2.) you contribute to healing, in me and my family, more than I’ll ever fully recognize, and you’ll ever really know.

Gotta keep moving. I’ve got some seriously awesome shit to take care of!
Love, Joey

Amen Sister Glennon. Here are a few thoughts I had reading your post.
As a new Christian (I have been going to a United Church of Christ church for a year) I totally get it. I have made HUGE mistakes in my past and will make more in my future. I will TRY my best not to make them and instead follow what Jesus taught. But without that whole Grace thing I don’t know why anyone would cause I will never be perfect. Anyone trying to live up to perfection is going to wind up miserable when they make mistakes. I find it hard to reconcile some folks who claim to be Christian who don’t allow for Grace. I guess I just need to pray harder for them. Christianity is a beautiful party and we need to invite everyone. My neighbor’s sins are not my sins, my sins are not my child’s sins and my child’s sins are not your sins. We are all just blessed that Jesus died for us all cause He is the only one who could have pulled that one off.
As always G good food for my thoughts. Thank you!

We punish ourselves plenty for our “sins.” We are capable of creating a far worse hell for ourselves than any loving God could ever wish upon us. God doesn’t need to do any punishing. And certainly our fellow humans don’t need to do any punishing, Ms. Shocked-by-abortion-reviewer-lady. The hardest thing in this life is to STOP punishing yourself. And, yes, to joyfully accept the dance.

Glennon, I can’t even tell you how much I love this!!! Thank-you!

Wow….Glennon….your timing on this. Amazing! Really speaks to me and issues in my life. Keep Dancing my friend and Monkee Sister!!

Great video, Glennon. I am fortunate that I did not grow up in a heavy-handed, shame-y church, and I wish others could have that experience. That doesn’t mean that I never felt shame or that I always felt like I could express myself and my personality and my thoughts/feelings/ ideas freely – I grew up in a very traditional, conservative neighborhood where shame was a way of making us kids conform to societal norms – but I was never shamed by my church, which is very different from so many others’ experiences. Keep sending your message to the world for so many people need to hear it and embrace it and feel in to their very cores.

I’m working on my guilt/shame cage. Gosh is it massive. I actually just wrote about this morning. It’s getting better. I’m dropping the keys. And boy did your words feed my soul today. Thank you, G.

(It feels scandalous to calling you “G.” It’s my first time doing it and I really like it. So affectionate. So personal. I might keep doing it…)

So, so beautiful! G you are such a shining light. Thank you for living out loud and dancing … And reminding us to do the same.

I love you. Thank you. Not even a Christian and this made me cry.

Thank you for speaking so much love and truth!!!!! God is so good and loving and I love how you use your words and explain His love in a way that I can “get” very easily. I’ve been in church all my life, and sometimes it’s so complicated and confusing! This is beautiful!!

Your grace ruined my makeup. LOL. I now need to reapply my mascara.

They’ll have to pry it from my cold dead hands too! Live you and your sassy little swears! Thank you for being YOU. And more importantly, thank you for sharing your REAL self with all if us monkees. In a world FULL if fake you are just so damn refreshing. 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing!

I simply must share this. It is too wonderful not to!

You preach, G!!!!!

Glennon, you will never, ever – not in a million brutiful lifetimes – know what this meant to me today. I will simply say, “You saved me” and for that I will be forever grateful. ♥

Amen Sister! Thanks for putting into words exactly how I have felt about Grace and forgiveness for so many years!!!

Grace is the only buzz I have left too, G. So let’s imbibe and party together!! And by GOD…there WILL be dancing 🙂 Amen, sister! xo

Thank you! I needed this today. I was born a rowdy girl, into an “unrowdy” family. By the time I was ten I had been taught to shut it all down-don’t be so loud, don’t be so happy, get your head out of the clouds, don’t talk so much. I never let it out again until I had children. How can you contain your joy with them? I wanted them to know me-I felt I had something to teach them. I finally have two rowdy girls of my own, who love life and love God. But when we go out in the world I see the same thing happening to them. Even 7 year olds are now are concerned with being too bold, too effusive, and not “cool” enough, and people can be downright mean. Judging and sizing up others seems to start very young. I keep fighting the fight to teach them to be who they are, without embarrassment. Thank you for reminding me today that we just need to keep looking for the places and people we belong to-you’re all out there, we just need to find you, and keep doing what God made us to do.

I love this. Somehow I always connect your message with a Pearl Jam song… Maybe it’s because I love you both so much, but the song Given to Fly… He floated back down because he wanted to share the keys to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere… Key dropper! I think you & Eddie Vedder would be great friends 🙂

LOVE LOVE LOVE this friend.

To actually Watch this Video, to See your Beauty and Your Grace– You are truly a gifted writer, but to See you… It was so moving, so true. You changed my day… Thank you.

You made me cry again, Glennon! I keep trying to remember that I am forgiven but there’s that small voice in my head that keeps saying “but, but, but”. I would love a little of that grace buzz you’ve got! Carry on.

Glennon, your last several posts have cracked me open and left me without breath. I am speechless. This is so very beautiful.

You bring me back to church, G. LOVED this. Thank you.

I have followed you for years, and I have to tell you–you are my Church, Glennon. I have always had an ambivalent relationship with God and spirituality and religion. And it’s been in recent years that I’ve realized and accepted I am loved, and this is in large part due to you and your grace and wisdom and kindness and love. Thank you for bringing God back into my life, and love back into my life. I love your God, and I love you. Thank you!

glennon, you are brilliant and brave and kind and beautiful. thank you for sharing your light with the world. HOWEVER–if I may be so bold–the one thing missing from that gorgeous video was a clip of you (plus or minus travis…or craig!) dancing your heart out.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it G!!
I cried and I laughed out LOUD!!
Your BRIGHT Shinning Soul Radiates most brilliantly in this!!
AMEN Sista!!

Love WINS!!!
XOXOXO

Ahhhh…mazing! And I want to know where you go to church, because THAT PLACE sounds like what church is meant to be!

Preach. Love. Amen.

Love! But I missed what Drop Keys is? Can someone help?

Beautiful!!!! I so often feel like I should be standing against the wall instead of dancing at the party. I’m dancing today!

So, first please let me say that I LOVE your daily posts & yesterday’s hit home-I had a visceral connection to Frozen but am still all over the place w/in Levels 1,2 & 3! Now, I have a hard question…How does one forgive the shamers-especially those who do not apologize for shaming or putting their people in cages & so the cycle continues & we begin to shame ourselves? Right now, I’m working on silencing the voices of shame in my head-they’re not my voice-but have been there for as long as I can remember & can get really loud at times…Thank you.

Amen Sister! Hallelujer. Pweach on. I dont know what else to say. Go girl

Hi Glennon…people forget that Jesus died on the cross to TAKE AWAY OUR SIN.

So now, because of Jesus, I am without sin. That’s right….I am without sin.

Blasphemous! some will say.

Show me in the Bible where it says Jesus DID NOT take away my sin…

Along my path of shedding religion, I was liberated by Jesus.

OMG! Your compassion, energy, honesty and enthusiasm has left me completely choked up this morning. I’m teary because that was absolutely brutiful. I see the honest to goodness Glennon and I feel most of the time you are reading my mind and articulating so well what I think and feel but have a hard time expressing coherantly. I’m sharing this with my pastor in hopes he will share it in church. What a way to start the day. Thank you.

It’s all about Grace! Grace is the key and thank God he gave it to us!!!!

Awesome. Thank you.

Amen Sister. I can relate as I have been there. They will take it from my cold hands. Grace. BTW I love seeing you on video speak, in your words, with inflection. Love it.
