And So, I Denounced.

Hello Lovelies,

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." — Romans 8:28

This has not been an easy journey but I will continue to say “yes, Lord have your way.”

In January 2024, I received a reel from an old high school friend—a girl sharing her story about why she denounced her sorority. I listened for maybe two seconds, unfollowed the young lady who sent it, and quickly sent the video to my own friends like, “Why would she send me this?” I genuinely felt offended. I wasn’t trying to hear it.

What I didn’t know at the time was that God had already started writing a story I couldn’t yet see.

A month later, a young woman I had only met through MissToo Made It—who would later become a friend and sister in Christ—was led by the Lord to begin praying for me to come out of my organization. We weren’t close, we hadn’t had conversations about faith, and I had no idea she was interceding for me. But God had placed my name on her heart.

Then April came. And the Lord started showing me things.

I began hearing and seeing more stories of people denouncing, but this time, it hit me differently. I remember praying, “God, why are You showing me this?” Then Pastor Jerry Flowers released a sermon that planted a seed deep in my spirit and stirred something I could no longer ignore. I remember being in my store crying, “like Lord, what are You doing here?” as I began to think about everything that would come with me denouncing.

To be honest, I still wasn’t trying to hear it. I’m a legacy. I’ve been active since the day I crossed. I own a business rooted in Greek culture. This wasn’t just an organization to me—it was deeply woven into my identity, my relationships, my livelihood.

But God doesn’t care about the labels we put on ourselves when He’s calling us higher.

So I prayed. I fasted. I sought wise counsel. I wrestled.

And on August 26, 2024, I woke up and said: Enough is enough.
“You love the Lord, right? Then let’s get serious about it and do what you know is right.”
And so, I denounced.

Why Did I Denounce?

Let's go back to 2019 when I first joined the organization. From the very beginning, the rituals didn’t sit right with me. But at that time, I didn’t have a true relationship with Christ. I knew who He was, but like it says in Matthew 7:23: "Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’" We talked on occasion, but I was still very much living in the world.

I was following in other’s footsteps more than I was following Christ.

Now, standing on the other side, I see so clearly why the rituals didn’t sit well with me — the Lord was planting seeds even then.

After I joined, I noticed a shift in my heart. I began to walk across campus feeling superior, almost as if being part of the organization made me better than others. Pride began to creep in quietly, but it roared loudly in how I carried myself.

As I sought the Lord more deeply, He opened my eyes even further. One of the Scriptures that stood out heavily to me was Galatians 5:19-21, which warns about the works of the flesh:

"Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I am warning you about these things—as I warned you before—that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." — Galatians 5:19–21 (CSB)

In recent conversation the word sorcery gripped my heart. When you study it biblically, sorcery isn’t just spells and potions — it refers to any spiritual manipulation, any practice that attempts to replace or bypass the true and living God.

I started to reflect on one of the pledges we said in the organization:
"We pledge our hearts, our minds, our strength…" (and it starts with the organization name).

Hearing that now, with spiritual eyes, I realize: Our hearts, minds, and strength belong to God and God alone.

His Word says clearly in Deuteronomy 6:5:
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."

That’s just one example. There’s so much more I could share, but I won't go deeper unless the Lord leads me.

Ultimately, every other "god" is an idol—and I serve a serious God who deserves serious yes. I only get one chance to “cross over” into eternity, and I don’t want to miss the mark knowingly.

As I sought His face and chose obedience, God began helping my unbelief. He started replacing confusion with clarity, fear with peace, and hesitation with boldness.

I’m not here to judge anyone still involved. I’m here to share my story and point you to the One who changed everything for me.

To Those Still in the Organization:

I want to say a prayer for you:

Father, I thank You for every heart reading this. I thank You for Your endless mercy and the love that draws us closer to You. Lord, I pray for those still involved in these organizations. May their hearts be softened, not by my words but by Your Spirit. May Your truth be louder than any tradition. May Your love be felt more powerfully than any loyalty to man-made systems. Help them seek Your face and walk in Your ways. Draw them to Yourself in grace and in truth. In Jesus' name, Amen.

About My Business — God’s Kindness

From September 2024—when I told my parents —to now, I’ve been praying daily for God's guidance regarding MissToo Made It: Greek Boutique.

Now, the time has come: I am officially closing MissToo Made It: Greek Boutique.
And God is truly so kind.

I attempted to sell the business, and the Lord told me, No. In my own strength, I still tried—but the sale didn’t go through.

In February 2025, I met with my building management to explore my lease options. I had three years left, and they initially told me I would owe thousands to break it. Even still, I agreed to the terms in faith, knowing God would make a way.

And in faith, my friend Keosha reminded me, “He would never bind you to something He had freed you from. I am confident it will all work out.”

On April 14, 2025, I received an email from my building management:
"You will not owe us anything at the end of May 2025. I already miss you!"

You can’t tell me God's hand isn’t in this.
You can’t tell me His Word doesn’t carry through.

Whew... I’m tearing up even writing this.
God truly loves Jadesha.

This journey has been a rollercoaster of emotions—stretching my trust, testing my surrender, pulling out deeper "yeses" from me day after day. Even writing this blog has been a process. Every time I thought it was finished, God revealed more—and every time, I had to say yes again.

I don’t know what’s on the other side of this.
But I know God will get the glory.
I will keep watching and seeing—not in my own strength, but in His.

This is my story.
My walk with Christ is not your walk.
But His Word is the same for all of us.
And we can’t blatantly ignore what it says.

If you are curious, seeking, wrestling, confused—know this:
Ask Him.
Seek Him.
He will answer you.

Because God is so kind.

With Love,

Jadesha M. Hair
