An Invitation to Emptiness
If you’ve grown up in the church, you’ve heard the Easter message on repeat.
You’ve read the Bible passages. You’ve heard the sermons. You’ve sung the songs. You get it.
While the message of Jesus’ resurrection is central to your faith, there may be a sense that you’ve done everything you can to engage with it. Now, you’re ...
Are You Too Warm?
We stand at the edge of the most important week in human history—Holy Week, which stretches from Palm Sunday, when Jesus entered Jerusalem to die, to Easter, when Jesus rose from the grave. Can we prepare our hearts as we read the fourth devotional in our Rid Me of Myself Lent series?
Living in south India, ...
A Radical Message, A Costly Choice
Online shopping is a big part of my life. I buy everything from groceries to gadgets on apps. One of the perks of living in a big, bustling city in India is that I can go from clicking a few buttons to bags appearing at my front door in minutes—magic!
When Jesus multiplied the bread and ...
Rid Me of Myself – Devotional 1
With exactly a month to go before Easter, we have a few short devotionals on the theme of following in the footsteps of Jesus even as He poured out His life for us.

I’ve received those ...
What’s Your Default?

(That comfy leather recliner is hands down one of the best purchases we’ve made.) Ask them what they’ll find me doing and they’ll probably say, scrolling on my phone (on the ...
When Creating is Difficult
Here's something fairly ironic: I'm at a writer's retreat, but didn't manage to write my post last evening. I guess that's what happens when you talk about writing rather than, well, write. But the retreat was everything I needed for a soul refresher to create content that glorifies God. And I did get some writing ...
Why “No Regrets” Is An Unhelpful Phrase
Although I was determined not to mindlessly scroll on my phone in the new year, I found myself swiping my screen on Instagram the other day. Thankfully, my pointless perusal turned out to be partly helpful because it became the introduction of this blog! (I know...excuses, excuses, excuses!). While browsing, I came across a Bollywood ...
