This absolutely makes sense, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t cause me sadness. All part of the human experience and there’s no guilt at all! Honestly this community has played a big part in how I’ve developed as a Jesus disciple and had led to new paths for our home church community, these things I am deeply grateful for. I’m deeply grateful for the honesty and vulnerability shown by folks, for the challenges to the way I see things that caused me to stretch, for the ways I saw people living each other in disagreement, for the zooms where we were received and cared about. Y’all are awesome and I will miss this.
this space and newsletter has been something that kept my faith alive during confusing times and has inspired me to work through deconstruction and return to church.
thank you both for your vulnerability and encouragement to this community! 🤎 wishing your family all the best in this era of change and adjusting
Please don’t feel any guilt in letting this go. It’s be a wonderful season- and it’s okay when things have to come to a close or move on. Get rest! Care for yourself & your fam. And keep exploring your abundant gifts. Thank you for making a safe space and building connection. We will continue to love and support you. We wish you both the absolute best!
Hi everyone. I don’t think I’ll be able to make the call this Saturday...super bummed, but I’ll be out in the mountains so don’t feel too bad for me ;-). Thinking of you all and hope you have a great weekend.
So so so grateful for Chris and Gabby and all of the lovely people I have met on here! Sad to see it go but I feel this is also in step with my life right now as well haha. Love you all and always keep in touch. My Facebook is Morgan Lempa and Instagram is @ _morgan_lempa_
I have lost count of the times Storied has been an oxygen mask to my faith. how it has encouraged me to breathe. and how those breaths have shown me there is still life in my faith. the breaths would differ. maybe they came as a sigh of relief or maybe they got caught in my throat or maybe they’d be shallow and achy or more often then not, deep and healing. and sometimes I’d breathe all those breaths in one issue.
but we all know you can’t fit someone else’s mask unless yours is on just right- right? I will miss your voices in this space but I can not wait to hear what beauty and truth they have to say elsewhere. when the time is right. so much love and gratitude to you guys. always✨🌿
Thank you for sharing your hearts so openly with all of us. Thank you personally for giving me hope that I’m not alone and I can be honest about my doubts.
While I’m sad to see this season end, I am beyond thrilled to know that it ends for the sake of health! You both have a ton on your plates right now and are doing the right thing. I’ll keep cheering from the sidelines and am excited to see what the future brings. Here’s to the next chapter of the story!
That graceful bend with the seasons of life, Gabby. I'm not surprised at all that you have the wisdom to know when to free up some bandwidth and know when the work is done 💝 I'm so thankful to have had the chats in 2020 and beyond; to get to hear the thoughts of two really beautiful minds and get to come to the table with a diverse group was SO valuable. Forever grateful for your vulnerability. In your corner always!
I will always cheer you both on. You have poured yourselves out for us all over 3+ years and I am a better human because of it. I have loved all the posts and the zooms and the journeying together. Again - I am always here for you. Always in your corner. All the love for you and your family.
So glad you’re taking care of yourselves and prioritizing your health and your family. Important to recognize the seasons for things. I’m sure you’ll get to do most things you want to do - but none of us can do it all at the same time. Thank you for giving so many of us space to reflect, encouragement and community. Enjoy the little bit more freedom to focus on now. Take care.
This space has been both a buoy and a ballast for my soul the past few years. Thank you for saying the hard and true things aloud. I’ll never forget it.
Seasons come and go and I’m sure that most of us, if not all of us, completely relate to the desire and need to evolve our lives with the seasons we’re in. Nobody here is disappointed. I’m sure that your brain could tell you that, but perhaps your heart feels otherwise. 🥰
I’m also in a season of stepping back on my personal things/wants because like you, my husband’s career is changing and I’m a mom of three young kids! Take comfort in the fact that I’m seeing you do what I’ve had to do...another way for me to feel “not alone” in another area of my life.
We love you guys at my house and we’re cheering you on.
Well done!

Thank you for all that went in to each episode.
Will surely miss all your insights into everything.
Totally understand the need to save your precious time for your beautiful family and eke out a bit for yourself.
Love you guys. g💖

Oh, thank you for a beautiful and vulnerable space to be ourselves -- and for modeling that for us! Bon voyage! 🥰
