He Meets Us Where We Are

“But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8

A Special Guest Post from a Sheologie Blog Contributor – Lauren Apodaca

My dog wouldn’t relax.

He was fed, he had gone potty, and he had his favorite blanket.

Despite thinking I had given him everything he needed, his restlessness persisted.

Finally, I sat down on the floor and draped a blanket across my lap.

Monty wandered over, curled up beside me, and fell asleep.

The whole time, I had been focused on what I thought he needed.

Meanwhile, he simply needed to be near me.

I met him where he was.

Sometimes We Just Need To Be Near Jesus

That moment reminded me of Jesus.

We spend countless hours worrying about what we think we need.

We tell ourselves we need to be stronger, have more faith, clean up our mistakes, or get our lives together before coming to God.

But Jesus continually shows us something different throughout Scripture: He meets people where they are.

He met the woman at the well in the middle of her brokenness.

He met Zacchaeus in a tree.

He met fishermen in their boats.

He met doubting disciples behind locked doors.

Just As We Are

Jesus doesn’t wait for us to become perfect before drawing near.

He comes to us in our mess, our questions, our fears, and our restlessness.

He invites us to bring those things to Him, just as we are.

Maybe today you’ve been carrying a burden you think you need to fix before approaching God.

If so, take heart: Jesus is not waiting for a better version of you. He’s waiting for you.

What area of your life do you need to invite Jesus into today?
Comment below so we can pray for you!

Hi, I'm Lenya Heitzig, founder of Sheologie where we encourage women to step boldly into their God-given calling. Whether that’s at home, in the workplace, the church, or wherever God leads, we believe your influence matters.

There is an undeniable art to being female. And I want to personally invite you into something very close to my heart: Sheologie. At its core, Sheologie is a movement of women choosing to live fully alive in Christ. It's a space where your soul can breathe again. A space where we encounter the living God in ways that ignite a holy passion to transform our everything.

Sheologie was born from a desire to create a place where women from all walks of life can encounter truth, beauty, and purpose. Whether you’re searching or struggling, healing, or celebrating, we want you to know that you belong here. We believe that God has written something sacred over your life. And we’re here to help you uncover it.

So, what does Sheologie offer? We host Bible studies that dig deep into God's Word paired with breakthrough groups, so you never have to walk alone. Our seasonal events are designed to refresh your spirit.

We show up with purpose on social media to be a light in the scroll, offering truth and beauty in a place that often feels dark. And we'll send you a weekly devo to help you pause, refocus, and lean into God's presence.

There's always space here for worship, laughter, healing, and restoration. No judgment, no performance. Only Jesus.

We've seen lives changed. Marriages restored. Healing begin. Friendships formed. Purpose awakened. That's the power of community. That's the power of God's Word. And that's the heartbeat of Sheologie.

So, if you're wondering if there's a place for you, there is. If your heart's been whispering "there has to be more", you're right. If you’re ready to become all God created you to be, this is your moment. Come with your questions. Come with your faith, or your doubt. Come with your whole, beautiful story. There’s a seat for you. There’s a sisterhood waiting. There's a God already calling you closer. And here at Sheologie, we can't wait to walk with you.
