Shelby Hohsfield | Exmo Christian, Writer, Speaker, and unstoppable ENTHUSIAST of Living God’s Purpose after the Church.
I help women safely reconnect with God. I know what it is like to have so many questions about the Christian faith.

How do I raise my kids with faith when I’m still trying to figure it out? Where can I find a community I can trust? Why does every church feel like culture shock? Will I ever know Jesus? Is Faith something meant for other people? It’s just so overwhel ...

We love to be part of the group, because it is safe. However, when you feel inspired to do something different, there is a part of you that is worried you will not be part of the group anymore- this is "unsafe." It all comes down to worrying about what others will think of you- "I will be judged." How does this worry affect you? How can you let go …

Odds are you have been in a situation where you have some sort of responsibility for others, and could even answer to someone in authority for the actions or effectiveness of others. It can be easy to have our success and even our self worth tied up in what others do or don't do. A parent is a bad parent if a child misbehaves, a missionary is a bad…

Have you ever believed a lie? We all have. Sometimes the lie is about someone or something else, but a lot of the time, we believe lies about ourselves.

Prosperity and abundance are most often and most easily associated with temporal success, such as financial. However, the Lord teaches us in The Book of Mormon that if you will keep His commandments, you will prosper in the land. If you don't, the result is that you will be cut off from the presence of the Lord. (Alma 9:13) Prosperity is all about …

Money. This can be a tough subject for some of us! I used to have a lot of struggles around money, and what I thought about monye.
