I’ve done almost everything I can do to finish building Already Loved.

The book is made.
The product is built.
The tweaks are mostly excuses now.

Which means the next step is obvious:

Talk about it.

And that’s where I froze.

Not because I don’t believe in it.

I do.

But because putting something out there means it can be ignored.
Misunderstood.
Rejected.

So instead of marketing, I started spiraling.

What am I even about?

Worship?
Parenting?
Tech?
AI?
Books?

My dad always talks about “chasing too many rabbits.”

And I wondered if that was me.

Because if I’m not about worship anymore…
what were the last 30 years of my life about?

Then it hit me.

I am still about worship.

But worship for me was never just music.

It was about facilitating an encounter.

And encounter is about connection.

Connection with God.
Connection with people.
Connection with who we really are.

That’s what Already Loved is too.

A worship song helps people hear the Father’s heart.

This book helps a child hear the Father’s heart through a parent’s voice.

Different tool.
Same mission.

Connection.

And maybe that’s why this message matters so much to me.

Because some of the deepest shame in my story came from becoming pregnant in Bible college.

For years, that felt like the part to hide.

The disqualifying part.

The part I never wanted to build anything on.

But God loves doing this.

He takes what shame tried to bury
and turns it into testimony.

He loves airing our dirty laundry… in the sunshine, because sunshine is the best disinfectant… and people can learn and benefit from what they see.

He turns things around for our good.

The cross was meant to be shameful.
God made it THE victory.

The water at Cana was for washing.
Jesus made it wine. Amazing wine.

And now I’m beginning to see:

Maybe Already Loved isn’t a side project.

Maybe it’s the banner.

Before you lead worship, you are already loved.
Before you parent well, you are already loved.
Before you launch the thing, you are already loved.
Before your story makes sense, you are already loved.

That’s the message.

That’s the work.

That’s the one rabbit.

And if I spend my life helping people believe they are loved by God the way the Father loves Jesus…

That will be enough.

You are already loved.

Next week, the newsletter will be coming from iamalreadyloved.com
