My Conversation with Brittany Braswell on Faith-Filled Food Freedom

Remember the interview I did last year with Brittany Braswell? She's a Registered Dietician, and she started a podcast called Faith-Filled Food Freedom, where she addresses nutrition and body image from a biblical perspective. Recently, I was a guest on her podcast and talked about eating disorder recovery (especially spiritual recovery). I'm thankful to Brittany for giving me the opportunity to share.

Dear Single Girl, You Don’t Enter Adulthood Alone

An adoring husband, two to five children, and a quaint little cottage—not a career—are the only things you’ve ever wanted for your life.

My Conversation with Cara Blondo on The One Thing Desired

I'm grateful to Cara for having me on her podcast and hope you check it out. You can find our recent conversation by clicking here!

Why I Wish I Hadn’t Watched La La Land

No, I don’t (solely) regret watching La La Land because Ryan Gosling simply isn’t as attractive as he thinks he is. (I’ve seen guys in the grocery store who are way more handsome than he is.) I honestly regret watching it because I felt convicted not to watch it…and I proceeded to watch it anyway.

Why I’m Not a Swiftie

Why is the world suddenly so obsessed with Taylor Swift? And why are we—specifically, why are Christians—investing so much of our time and money in an artist who is living in darkness and seems to be proud of it?
