When we are hurt by another, to “strike back” can be a natural instinct. As a follower of Christ we are called to “seek peace and pursue it.” The leaders on our board have all experienced hurt in different ways, but are seeking peace in their stories by choosing to elevate others, and walk alongside them in their hurts. Peace is not an easy road to achieve for every story, but it is a Christ-calling, and a calling that we desire to live out and encourage for each young mom and her family we meet.
