    Our world is fractured by “gaps” that split our politics, communities, and families. It’s easy to stay where it’s safe, and everyone agrees, but Jesus calls us out of our filter bubble. We aren’t meant to pick a side of the canyon—we are called to bridge it. The New Testament utilizes the Greek term agape…

    There are moments in life that aren’t just “stressful.” They are suffocating. It’s the kind of pressure that feels like a physical weight on your chest, crushing the air right out of your lungs until every breath feels like a victory you’re losing. Maybe it’s a season of grief, a collapsing relationship, or a failure…

    In this life, it is so easy to get overwhelmed, especially this time of year, with all the hustle and bustle of Christmas and the coming of a New Year. We can get overwhelmed just by the everyday stresses of life, even if it’s not a holiday. I know I have had lots of people…

    As I sit here in the safety of my home, I think back to the times that I haven’t always been in a place of safety. And we take so many things for granted. We live now in threat of constant turmoil locally and globally. So, it’s easy to focus on everything going on in…

    As I sit here in the silence of the morning, I think back to when my children were small. It was always something going on. In fact, there was never a dull moment. Looking back, those times were hilarious. However, at the moment, they made me feel like pulling my hair out. What we don’t…

    I used to get upset because I felt like nobody knows me, nor do they really care to know me. I felt like nobody really knows what makes me do the things I do. I felt like nobody understood me at all.  I am just a speck out here in this vast universe and I…

    In this life we all have decisions to make, regardless, of what the decisions are or who we are. I also have a firm belief that everybody has the right to be treated with dignity, no matter the circumstances. I have sat back and watched, more and more people are being treated less than human…
