Love. What a beautiful way to conclude our fourth and final theme of Advent. Welcome to our little church here. All are welcome. Let’s celebrate the love that knows no boundaries — this love that beckons us no matter where we find ourselves. Love just isn’t an idea, it’s a verb. May we actively participate in love and choose love. What small simple act of kindness we can extend to make a difference in others’ lives? Merry Christmas Eve, beloveds. Sending you so much love. (If you want to watch o

Deconstructing and Reconstructing is a big topic in our community here — I have seen your DMs, your messages, your comments. Maybe your relationship with the church has gotten complicated or you've been wounded by the church. Maybe you're desperately clinging to God’s love but no longer identify in the same evangelical, faith spaces you once did. Maybe your LGBTQ-affirming beliefs have been a lightning rod for questioning your current faith narrative. Maybe you cannot reconcile your political or

I have two sons to celebrate today, both seniors. I'll talk about my youngest senior first, then I'll tell you about my college senior in his own post. I'm sharing because you have loved my kids for so many years. They grew up in front of you, and you have always celebrated their big moments. Let's talk about Caleb Hatmaker. He would be considered our "spirited child" which is to say he has been making us laugh and making us crazy and making us proud since the day he was born. This is the 13-MON

If this community is anything it’s generous. I can’t quit thinking about how many moms are out there and they need a little help. They’re on their own or they’re pushing a boulder uphill or their set of circumstances is just super-super challenging. It matters more than ever that we’re helping each other right now. We need to stand in the gap. So, here’s what I want to do. I want you to nominate an awesome, amazing, deserving mom who just needs a little help. This is for the moms who need a boos

At a little brunch I hosted in Nashville this week (more on this soon), a bunch of my friends came over to celebrate AWAKE — and I was just so honored. We brought out the signs (because, we LOVE a sign) for everyone to write what’s awakening in them — and I just love these answers. What’s awakening in YOU right now? | Jen Hatmaker

I want to tell you about some amazing people who have walked the challenging path of faith deconstruction and come out stronger, braver, and more whole. Take Meghan, for instance: “I try so hard not to have questions and to simply walk in the faith but the reality is, that I do have questions! So I love this [course] so much! I'm currently navigating finding community again. Who says that can't be online?” Or Rene: “As someone who left the church 25 years ago, yet still (somehow) kept my faith i

I will always be awe in women as long as I live. Over Mother’s Day weekend, we asked you to nominate deserving moms — amazing moms who just need a little help right now; the ones who need a little bit of community support around them. And you told us about the most incredible women. So many of them. My dream — and I think we are going to handle in record time — is to clear a few of their Amazon wish lists in record time. It’s so easy for us to click-click-click and help with a little item or two

Showing you WHAT IS UP in the May box for the Jen Hatmaker Book Club. Easily one of the best books I’ve ever read. Plus the goodies and the podcast and the digital downloads and the community and the local chapters and the FB group. Book Club is all so delicious. . We had the biggest influx of new members this month since its start. We are all hungry for connection, and books still matter. Women said yes to this for themselves, and I am in love. . Also be on the lookout for a gift from the JHBC

You might remember that a few weeks ago, I told you about the regular dinners at Jeffrey's with my girlfriends, where we pre-game the conversation with questions we are having about midlife things. One of the issues on the most recent agenda was this: What kind of shorts do we wear? I’m not saying that I have a solution but I have a suggestion that I don’t know is right or wrong. But I wonder if it can be a tennis skirt? No, I don’t play tennis. But can we borrow the tennis people’s uniform? I w

If you want 2026 to feel different, start with something small — and wildly doable. Like giving yourself one good book a month…and a circle of women who make you feel alive again. If your “New Year Energy” list looks like: ✨ I want to read more (for real this time) ✨ I want better stories in my life ✨ I want new, meaningful friendships ✨ I want something that feels like mine ✨ I want mail that isn’t a bill 😅 Then this is your sign. 🌙 January’s Jen Hatmaker Book Club pick is "To the Moon and Ba

Showing you a little sneak peek at what’s coming this fall in Jen Hatmaker Book Club... 😍And, spoiler alert, it involves my memoir, AWAKE. We’ve built such a special experience, called “The Awakened Journey,” that’s rooted in reflection, reinvention, and coming home to yourself. In September, we begin with the idea of surrender — and releasing old roles, perfectionism, and what no longer serves us. We’re reading “Go as a River," which is such a beautifully written novel about a woman shaped by

When I first started asking really hard questions of my faith and the beliefs I was handed as a kid, it was so disorienting. I felt like I was pulling out bricks that were so foundational. And it was scary. Then, as I got into it, I’l tell you what I discovered: Losing my religion was not about losing Jesus; it never was. What it really was about was finding Jesus again. Maybe you've found yourself in a similar place... with a particular doctrine or structure or set of a beliefs that isn't sitti

For those of us who have a complicated relationship with church right now, for those whose Sundays might look a little different than they used to... I want you to know that the most revelatory truth I’ve learned about faith is that I never had to be good enough for God to love me. That’s not how God’s love works. It’s not transactional. It’s not merit-based. It’s not based on our behaviors. This reversal in my understanding changed my entire trajectory. It’s why my dear friend, Sarah Bessey, an

I am back from Indy and I thought we might have a little 5-minute-ish “church” together on this Monday morning. I wanted to spend just a little time on the main ideas of Advent, starting with Hope. I have found that my greatest lessons and greatest seasons of growth are in the dark. In the waiting. In the hoping. What are you waiting on? What are you hoping for? Maybe it’s a resolution for a relationship. Maybe it’s a solution for a child or a parent. Maybe it’s a job or some sort of pain that h

I’ve been reading some excerpts from AWAKE at each tour stop — and there’s one in particular that I’ve been noticing that’s really resonating. And it’s actually about faith. The whole experience around a rigid religious upbringing, purity culture, fear — and then the deconstruction around faith and then, ultimately, the reconstruction — this is pretty common. And I’m hearing from so many of you “same, same, same” — across a range of denominations and backgrounds. So, I thought I’d read the “Jour

In Dallas, I spoke at Lovers Lane United Methodist Church. And I just have to tell you: This was so meaningful to me; it was so special; it was so rare. It was so good for me to be in a faith room — a room filled with alllllll the people; it’s a beautifully inclusive church. People are safe there. Gathering in that room together; it felt like one of the most honest rooms I’ve been in, in a long time. We talked about our worries, our fears, our kids, our partners. We talked about hope, and why we
