Still Looking Up

by Kimberly Baughn Sutkin

I grew up around deep faith and still spent years wondering why it never came naturally to me.

This space is for the people with hard questions, complicated church history, and a desire to keep looking anyway. Pull up a chair. You don’t have to have the right words to belong here.

Welcome

A place for seekers

Still Looking Up is a warm, thoughtful space for people exploring scripture, religious trauma, and the long, honest process of finding God beyond organized religion.

If you found your way here through TikTok, a late-night search, or a question you could not stop carrying, you are not alone. This journal is here to make room for reflection, curiosity, and hope.
