Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
I’m asking myself this question because exactly 10 years ago, I published my first post on this blog. Frankly, I feel like the answer to this question is “no” sometimes. Yes, I press on, even when I notice an inexplicable drop in blog views…and when I lose blog followers…and when I remember my plan to become a famous author remains unachieved. But what if I shouldn’t press on? What if this isn’t worth it?
In last week's post, I shared a couple important questions to ask yourself about your mental health struggle. I mentioned that even though I’m not an expert on this topic, I do have personal experience with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I may not know every detail about your mental health struggle—perhaps anxiety, depression, or OCD—but I do know you can move forward. Here are a few more questions to consider as you decide how.
While I’m not an expert on mental health, I understand mental health struggles on a personal level because I have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). If you have a mental health struggle but don't know exactly how to navigate it or manage it, this post is for you! I hope you'll find these two questions helpful as you determine the best way to move forward.
You might remember that I shared five song recommendations near Thanksgiving last year. Although there are lots of songs I could’ve included in that post, I opted to include just five. But I actually have five more song recommendations for you in this post, if you want to add them to your Thanksgiving playlist.
I’ve evaluated a few of Shawn Mendes’ songs—"Stiches" and "Treat You Better" and "There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back"—in prior posts. I’m not a big fan of those three songs because the lyrics are, well, somewhat questionable. But I don’t hate all of Shawn’s songs. In fact, we’re going to evaluate one today that has a great message.
Last night, I had a dream that James* was married—but not to me. He was married to the girl he started dating approximately five seconds after he ghosted me. It was strange to see him wearing a gold wedding band in my dream. But frankly, I’m glad I’m not the one who gave it to him.
Hi friends! Today’s post is a video interview I did with Bob Wheatley, a single Christian guy in his 30s who once played professional baseball and now writes and speaks. I hope this conversation edifies you and reminds you that your season of singleness has significance.
Unfortunately, lies about friendship are sometimes believed by God’s people. I know this is true because I’ve fallen for them and allowed them to affect my life. Believing these lies certainly hurts our relationships with our friends, but it also hurts our relationships with God. I wrote this post to evaluate two specific lies about friendship so that we can realign our beliefs with the truth and understand how to approach friendship biblically.
If you winced when you saw the title of this post, you’re probably an introvert like me. I hate when people tell me I need to step outside my comfort zone. But to be honest, I often end up thriving when I take their advice. I hope you’ll consider taking mine.
