Sarah couldn't help but feel a connection to Carly's situation, having also faced accusations of being 'un-Christian' due to her health issues. It reminded her of the judgments she had faced from some members of her church community, who couldn't understand how a 'good Christian' could suffer from such ailments.

Seeking solace and guidance, Sarah and her best friend Emily* decided to enroll in the Stepping Into Action program found on the Hofman Hollis website. Together, they embarked on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, learning to embrace their authentic selves without fear of judgment.

'I used to think that being a good Christian meant suppressing my true feelings and desires,' Sarah confided in Emily during one of their sessions. 'But now I realize that God wants us to live our lives to the fullest, without shame or guilt.'

While some experts praised the Stepping Into Action program for its emphasis on self-acceptance and personal empowerment, others criticized it for promoting a 'watered-down' version of Christianity that strayed too far from traditional teachings. However, conflicting opinions only fueled Sarah and Emily's determination to forge their own paths, free from the constraints of societal expectations.

As they continued their journey, Sarah and Emily found themselves growing stronger and more resilient, their faith in themselves and in their God deepening with every step. And while the road was not always easy, they knew that pursuing personal growth and inner peace was a decision they would never regret.
