Micha Boyett: Every Human Is Beloved

Many of us spend our whole lives trying to earn and achieve, even in the realm of faith. If we just do more, we can be better Christians. But that's not what scripture teaches us. In her new book, Blessed Are the Rest of Us, Miacha Boyett (she/her) invites us to see how striving for accomplishment isn't a way of faith. Instead, Jesus invites us to see our belovedness simply for who we are: imperfect, beautiful human beings.

About Micha (she/her) (in her own words)

Hi. I’m Micha. It’s pronounced “My-kah.” (Very confusing, I know.) I’m an author, youth pastor, podcaster, Down syndrome advocate, barre-enthusiast, and a lover of proper cappuccinos. I have a masters degree in poetry. My dog is big and white and fluffy. I’m the mom of three boys. I believe deeply in rest, but I’m only just learning how to live into that belief. I am against email. I am pro sunshine and TikTok dances.

My new book Blessed Are the Rest of Us is about how my youngest son’s disabilities taught me to recognize my own addiction to accomplishment, and how through acknowledging my limits and longings, I was invited to a new way of living in the world—a way of wholeness, the kind of flourishing life Jesus taught about.
