THANK YOU!

    • Anna Dimmel
    • My passion is to serve those who feel out of place inside faith communities for thinking differently, asking questions or having an out-of-the-norm story.

      My work is focused on welcoming the outsider, being a voice for the voiceless and walking alongside the tired and hurting to rise strong on the other side. As a girl who spent her whole life trying to fit inside the “box”, I’ve learned that forcing yourself to fit the mold comes at a high price. But, if you dare to step outside the lines and encounter the Divine in the wilderness, true freedom and an authentic identity await you there.

      After 10 years of ministry, pastoring and a painful divorce, I decided to crack open the door and invite you into my journey of encountering the Divine in the wilderness and how I have been an out-of-the-box Jesus follower all along.

      In my blog, podcast and written works you can expect honest, real conversation centered on following Jesus (not the majority, institutions or groups – Jesus tended to oppose all of those things), different perspectives on theology, relationships, church issues and inner healing work. I think you will be surprised to find just how many people are out there just like you.

      I promise, no matter the journey, no matter the twists and turns, you CAN embrace all of it. Every part of your story matters and I am so happy you’re here.

      A few things to know about me: most days you can find me working at a desk, running kiddos around town or snuggled under a blanket writing. When I’m not busy working, you can usually find me researching history, daydreaming about the beach and sneaking dark chocolate.

An open letter to the church from a millennial – this is why we are leaving

One of the struggles many millennials have with organized religion in general is the inability of the older generations to adapt, change, or entertain new ideas and new ways of thinking. This is an issue each generation bumps up against, but this generation and this subject don’t seem to be finding a middle ground.

My story of abuse and disconnection with body

It’s a been long summer! One filled with a lot of reflection and thought. And over these last few months, I’ve felt stirred to speak about things I’ve been quiet about. One thing I’ve been quiet about has been abuse.
