Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
Hi friends! It's been a while since we've had an interview on TTT, so I know you're going to love this new interview with Debbie W. Wilson. She's an author friend of mine who is preparing for the launch of her book, Little Strength, Big God! Keep reading to learn more about her writing journey, as well as her suggestions for growing writers.
As I recently wrote in an open letter to single girls regarding the "church search," there are factors that do matter and factors that don’t matter. Things like worship style, preaching style, sermon topics, seating or décor arrangements, and service times can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time. But the three things that shouldn’t fluctuate—and should be the key factors in your search for a new church—are included below.
But the recently released Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling has drawn far more attention than all of the animated Barbie movies combined. Why? What’s the draw? Is it nostalgia? The A-list actors and actresses in the cast? All the pink? Perhaps it's simply unrealistic expectations.
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.

Single Girl, I realize there are few things in this life as scary as entering adulthood without a significant other. 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. Yet here you are—perhaps just a few days, weeks, or months from stepping into adulthood—with no husband, no children, and no home. Just a half-written cover letter and an empty resume.
As Type A girls, we often sacrifice the health of our bodies, hearts, minds, and souls for the accomplishment of our goals. But God clearly cares about rest, which means we should, too. Here are five reminders (and corresponding Bible verses/passages) that will hopefully encourage you as you set aside time to rest.
I hadn’t initially planned to write a 4th of July-themed post this year, but a recent conversation with one of my coworkers changed my mind. It reminded me that not all Americans feel patriotic at this time of year. In fact, many of them despise America, in spite of how God has worked in its 247-year history.
Earlier this month, I was a guest on Cara Blondo's podcast, The One Thing Desired. Cara actually struggled with an eating disorder like I did, and her journey is so similar to mine. I know you'll enjoy our conversation about the ups and downs of eating disorder recovery and how God has worked through our recovery stories. 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!
Today's post is super special because I have an announcement about a free new resource for you! My devotional You Are Not Alone: A 5-Day Devotional on 1 Peter 5 is now available on YouVersion! I encourage you to check it out, use it, and grow in your understanding of the presence of God and the church in your life, especially during trials and temptations.
