You Don't Have to Check Off Boxes to Be Loved

Karianna Frey felt like she had to check off boxes and change part of her identity to be truly Catholic and loved. Yet in Adoration God revealed to Karianna that He and His love are so much bigger than the ways we box Him in.

Karianna also explores how we box others in stemming from fear. However, it is in embracing our discomfort and reaching out to people different than us that we grow to learn our interconnectedness as God's human family.

Karianna's newest book is We are Beloved: 30 Days with Thea Bowman.
