An Open Letter to Pope Francis about the Sexual Abuse of Children
Dear Pope Francis, First, a thank you. Thank you for saying alarming, beautiful things, for elevating Jesus, for seeing Him on the face of the downtrodden, for loving our earth and demonstrating humility. You have been a breath of spring air, a reminder of the dignity of Jesus’ church. It’s in light of your heart […]

003–Lauren
I’m grateful to have my friend “Lauren” with us on today’s Restory Show. For reasons you’ll understand when you listen, Lauren has opted to use a pseudonym to mask her identity. Some stories are hard to tell publicly, particularly when they involve the reputations of others. How Our Stories Intersected I first met Lauren years […]

I’m so tired of all the food rules
So I’m going to get all honest with you…I listened to a podcast today that basically said be sad the rest of your life. Well, to be honest, what he said was never eat grains, not even corn or millet or that darling of the non-gluten crowd, quinoa. Of course no wheat, soy, joy, or […]

002–David Pothier
I’m grateful to have my friend David Pothier (pronounced “pwaah-tee-ay”) with us on today’s Restory Show. How Our Stories Intersected I first met David a few years ago when I was tasked with writing stories of church planters that our church had relationships with. I learned he was a French-Canandian planting a church in Montreal. […]

Confession of a Frazzled One–Do you relate?
It’s been one of the most challenging, unsettling weeks of my life, the kind where you feel everything’s been thrown heavenward, then spilled onto the ground in strange, confusing heaps. Shock is still circling around my brain, and I have a hard time thinking. I wish I could be more forthcoming, but I have a […]

001 – The First Ever Restory Show with Bethany Kaczmarek
About the restory show Last summer God birthed the concept of restory in me. You can read about that process here. Or click the short video below to get a better idea: re-story from Mary DeMuth on Vimeo. I prayed a lot about what would be next, moving from “living uncaged” to learning about and […]

10 Traits of a grace-based friend
I sat up in bed last night, thinking over the breadth of my friendships. Because I’ve moved around a lot, I’ve had a few friends in different locations. Some of those friendships have remained, and as it often goes in this mobile life, some of those friendships have died away. I’ve seen just how important […]

To You who Shames Yourself
They sat across from me at lunch, two dear friends. And one said something like, “I don’t know anyone else who is harder on herself than you are.” She shook her head, and my other friend nodded. I could see they hurt for me, that it hurt them that I hurt myself with internal shaming […]

Restory Show is COMING!
I’m really excited about launching a brand new podcast. While my last podcast, Live Uncaged, was a delight to produce, re-story makes me nearly (!) jump up and down with joy. Why? Because I have the privilege of sharing OPS (Other People’s Stories). In my travels and experiences as a writer and speaker, I’ve run […]
