	Description:		Today’s devotional wrestles with where—or if—God lives, and why the body was my first church. I talk about hiding from “knowing” with busy perfection, getting brought to my knees, and the strange alchemy where the pain of alignment expands our capacity for joy. If “up-there God” never worked for you, this one’s for you. Timestamps Coffee + confession: “I don’t believe in an up-there God.” The gendered God problem; why a half-God can’t hold a whole life The body as the beginning: tight, trapped, spinning wheels How I hid from knowing (babies, birthdays, busy) Letting myself out: color floods back, but so does shadow Pain as teacher: brought to my knees until I listened The equation: capacity to hold pain = capacity to receive joy If prayer never fit, try presence: “God as the love I house” Get full access to Her Mother Tongue at hermothertongue.substack.com/subscribe
