Starting with Moses, we see how the children of Israel fought him all along the way. Then the Moses movement, the former move of God, rebelled in every way against Jesus, the Messiah they were awaiting. Then as the church world plunged into the dark ages, God began to restore truth, starting with John Hus, Martin Luther, and others. All of whom were condemned by the current, or former move, the church. Then God ...

One ordinary day, a caseworker from the Department of Children and Families knocked on the Hays family’s door to investigate an anonymous complaint about the upbringing of their transgender child. It was this knock, this threat, that began the family’s journey out of the Bible Belt but never far from the hate and fear resting at the nation’s core.

From the time we’re born, a litany of do’s and don’ts are placed on us by our families, our communities, and society. We're required to fit into boxes based on our race, gender, sexuality, and other parts of our identities, being told by others how we should behave, who we should date, or what we should be interested in. For so many of us, those boxes begin to feel like shackles when we realize they don’t fit our unique shape, yet we keep trying because we crave acceptance and validation. But is “fitting in” worth the time, energy, and suffering?
