Every longing heart needs a loving witness.

We are made with a remarkable design—created to desire love. Yet we wrestle with injured hopes and wrong distortions of our wants. Sometimes we turn fretfully desperate, or walled off in hurt. It can become difficult to believe our ache for connection is anything good.

Through scenes from her grandpa’s farmhouse and the “glass-house dreams” that distress her, Maggie shares her story as a young mother in need of God’s comfort to settle her fear. Her longing heart is not useless. Yearning souls bear traces of a wonderfully-made design.

A celebration of redeemable humanity and imperfect communities, Stepping Home invites us to compassionately embrace our hunger for connection. This desire is not a defect. It’s beautiful confirmation that we are intricately formed to belong to our Home in the kingdom of God.
