Welcome to Crowned & Called
Hey sis.
Welcome to Crown & Called- a space created with YOU in mind. Not the version of you that smiles on cue or who has it all figured out. The real you. The tired, soul-searching, purpose-hungry woman who’s trying to love her people well while not losing herself in the process.
I see you.
Because I AM YOU.
Why Crown and Called Was Born
This isn’t just a blog. This is an assignment. This is something that has been on my heart for so long-since 2006 to be exact.
There was a season that I wore every hat-wife, mom, nurse, leader, fixer, sinner, friend, jerry springer show participant (not really but could have been). Underneath it all I felt invisible. I had dreams and prayers whispered through tears no one saw. I wondered if I was too much and not enough all at once. It was a long season-one I still wrestle with. I wonder if we never stop wrestling with this. Am I enough? God has kept this on my heart for almost 20 years! Talk about persistence! I am thankful He never gave up on me, despite my constant running from Him.
He reminded me:
You are CROWNED with purpose and CALLED with power.
Sis, that’s not just for me. That’s for you too!
This blog was born from the trenches. From battles I didn’t ask for and healing I didn’t know was possible or that I needed. from being a woman who survived abuse, heartache, depression, addiction in the family, shame, suicidal thoughts, self-doubt and spiritual droughts, experiencing pain and fear that only a mother feels when your child is sick and you cannot do anything to help but get on your knees and plead for God to save them. Drowning, barely keeping your head above, taking water in your lungs, sinking and seeing the light shine through as you are falling further under…that place where there seems to be no hope.
But sis…I didnt stay there-and neither will you.

You Are Not Alone
Maybe you feel behind. Maybe you’ve been silenced by shame, weariness, self-doubt. Maybe you’re just trying to survive this current season in your life.
But can I remind you of something?
“You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” 1 Peter 2:9
You, daughter, are CROWNED.
You, warrior, are CALLED.
And you don’t need to hustle to earn it-it’s already been spoken over you.
Lets Walk This Out Together

This isn’t a perfect blog-I had to look up the meaning of what a blog was for crying out loud! Thats how “qualified” I am! But it is a surrendered one.
And I pray it “Blesses your socks off!” as Kris Goertzen would say.
Welcome to the journey. Lets heal, rise, lead, and submit together.
With Love and Holy Fire,
Lisa Chapman
