Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
My friend Emma* serves in several different ways at my church. She helps in the youth group, she sings during worship services, and she’s on a planning committee—among many other things! When she talks about her involvement in various ministries, I sometimes wonder: Should I serve more at church?
The topic of sex used to make me feel pretty uncomfortable, but that's no longer the case. Now I'm excited about having sex once I get married. If you feel the same way, I want you to know you're not weird; you're normal. This post includes three truths about sex that every single girl should know.
As a Hallmark movie junkie, I don’t typically enjoy movies like Uncharted. But I do enjoy actors like Tom Holland—hence why I watched Uncharted. Though this movie had a few flaws, its overarching theme was surprisingly good.
Though I had some preconceived notions about the writers' conference, it turned out to be much different than I had expected. It helped me realize (or re-realize) a few important things about my writing craft and my relationship with God. So whether or not you’re a writer, here are two lessons I learned at my first writers' conference that apply to anyone who belongs to Christ and wants to use his or her talents for His kingdom.

To help you avoid falling into the trap that I fell into, I want to point out two lies you may be believing about health.
Perhaps you’re not in a romantic relationship right now, so the “future husband” concept feels abstract to you. Maybe it feels like you’ll never find true love or get married. I feel that way sometimes, too. But a passage from Proverbs 31 actually changed my perspective on my future husband and how I can honor him (and the Lord!), even though I haven’t met him yet. Here are three practical ways that you can become a godly wife—even before you meet your future husband.
So when I learned about the movie Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, I was beyond excited to see it. I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect because I hadn’t read the book that it was based on, but I had high expectations about it. And it met my high expectations—for the most part.
Real Recovery: What Eating Disorder Recovery Actually Looks Like is officially two years old! But this isn’t just a celebratory post; it’s also an advisory post. Really, this post is my encouragement to you to start your eating disorder recovery journey. But I want you to know a couple specific things—things I discuss in Real Recovery—as you start this important journey.
