What does it mean to remember Christ’s broken body when your own body is weak, tired, and in pain? Jasmine Duckworth offers a deeply personal Good Friday reflection that explores communion, community, and the healing found in our shared brokenness.
On the night Jesus washed his disciples’ feet. It’s a quiet, messy moment of love—hands in the dust, water splashing, no one pretending to have it all together. What if holiness looks more like that?
