My Conversation with Jayme Mueller on *Recover with God*

Jayme Mueller, the host of Recover with God, graciously gave me an opportunity to discuss my eating disorder recovery journey on her podcast. During our conversation, we talked about living with purpose, adjusting expectations, and walking in the light. You won't want to miss it, especially if you're recovering or you have a loved one who's recovering. You can listen to our conversation here. By the way, there's a minute-ish of silence near the beginning of the episode (immediately after the introduction), so don't be alarmed or confused by that!

My Conversation with Kala Yoder on Confidence in Christ

Last month, my conversation with Kala Yoder went live on her podcast Confidence in Christ! We chatted about truth and lies—specifically what I believed when I was struggling with eating disorder recovery. It was so hard to believe the truth because the devil's lies genuinely felt like the truth. Even now, his lies can feel really real. But as Kala and I discussed, it takes time (and an attitude of surrender) to let the truth sink into our hearts and change our lives. Listen to our conversation here!

The Songs I Like (and Don’t Like) on The Most Beautiful Colours Album by for KING + COUNTRY

Although I’ve never reviewed an entire album on TTT, I thought it would be fun to share some feedback on the newest album by for KING + COUNTRY. On The Most Beautiful Colours, Joel and Luke Smallbone sing about a variety of topics—from falling in love to finding purpose in pain to envisioning the beauty of heaven. I hope this post provides helpful guidance as you consider which songs to add (or not add) to your playlist.

Do I Need to Find a Mentor?

Mentorship is a trendy topic in the Church. Maybe you’ve read or heard sermons, podcast episodes, books, articles, or other content about this topic. Perhaps you’ve felt pressure from members of your family or members of your church to participate in mentorship. But you don’t know if finding a mentor is actually necessary. My hope is that this post will help you figure that out.

Why I Don’t Like “Church Clothes” by Franni Cash

Maybe “The Truth” by Megan Woods is such a popular song because we want to believe we’re good enough as we are. We want to believe we don’t need to change anything in our lives. We want to believe God doesn’t mind when we sin as Christians. Unfortunately, the song “Church Clothes” by Franni Cash has a similar vibe—and I don’t like it.

Am I Worthy?

When I started reading When It Hurts to Hope, I liked it. I felt like Rachel understood me, and I resonated with her experiences and observations. Partway through the book, however, I stopped reading it because I encountered multiple things that made me feel uneasy. This post addresses one of them—the concept that Christians are “worthy.”

3 Encouraging Reminders About Scripture Memorization

Whether you’ve memorized a hundred verses or zero verses, this post is for you. I didn't write it because I'm expert on Scripture memorization; I wrote it because Scripture memorization is hard and we all need encouragement as we work toward it. This post includes three encouraging reminders that will hopefully inspire you to start or continue incorporating this practice into your life.

Your Obedience Matters More Than Your Emotions

Frankly, though, I think the Church often puts too much pressure on believers to feel certain things—like to feel happy or excited about reading the Bible, praying, going to church, etc. I think this pressure can be more harmful than helpful, causing believers to focus too much on emotions and not enough on obedience. But based on what I've read in God's Word over the years, I've come to this conclusion: Our obedience matters more than our emotions.

Why I Don’t Like The Breadwinner

When I watched the new movie The Breadwinner, I really wanted to like it. There aren’t many clean comedies, and I hoped that this one would be entertaining and uplifting. Unfortunately, however, I left the movie theater feeling pretty disappointed. In my opinion, The Breadwinner feels more like a loser than a winner.
