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.

My Conversation with Karen Ferguson on 5-Minute Parenting

Earlier this year, I got to connect with a podcast host named Karen Ferguson. On the latest episode of 5-Minute Parenting, we discussed how parents can spot eating disorders in their children's lives and address them in helpful ways. If someone you love is struggling with an eating disorder—perhaps a child, a sibling, or a friend—then this episode is for you. I'm grateful that Karen allowed me to share my story with her audience, and I'm excited for you to listen to our conversation, which you can find here.

What I’d Tell My Younger Self About Chasing Her Dreams

During my teen years, I started this blog. Initially, I covered a wide variety of topics, filling my posts with very earnest (but pretty random) thoughts about God and faith. Over time, I found my sweet spot—my passion—as a writer: encouraging young women through personal stories and scriptural truths. My posts soon began to reflect my passion. I really wanted to help young women grow in their relationships with God—but I really wanted a book deal too.

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.”

How to Hold On to Hope While You’re Waiting (Part 2)

Last week, I published Part 1 in this series about holding on to hope during the wait. In that post, I shared a practical way to remain hopeful while waiting, and I'm going to share another in today's post. Like me, you might be waiting for marriage—or you might be waiting for something entirely different. Either way, this post is for you in your season of waiting.

How to Hold On to Hope While You’re Waiting (Part 1)

Falling in love seemed so exhilarating, and I couldn’t wait to experience it for myself. With great anticipation, I waited for my prince to come. However, as the years passed—and as countless family members and friends found “happily ever after”—I started to believe he might never come.
