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!

3 Practical Ways to Apply the Golden Rule to Dating

The man’s story led me to think about the golden rule—Jesus’ command to “treat others the same way you want them to treat you” (Luke 6:31 NASB1995). Applying this command to our interactions and relationships isn't usually easy, but it's definitely doable. In this post, I’ll share three practical ways we can apply the golden rule to dating.

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.

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.
