AI and the Christian (Writer): How Do We Use This “Tool”?
This Tuesday marked the 1000th day since ChatGPT’s release. Perhaps I live under a rock, but I started using this crazily smart, remarkably intelligent tool fairly recently. Yet, despite my late entry into the game, I quickly got mired in the quicksand.
As a writer, I asked it for synonyms. As a mom of a senior ...
When Obedience Looks Like a Big Transition
Ten years ago, if you’d asked me whether I could survive without my weekly trifecta of Target, Trader Joe’s, and Totally Pointless Shopping, I would have protested with a “No way!” and clutched my shopping cart tighter than ever.
But a lot has changed since then.

Triggered, Yet Transformed
One word I’ve heard often in the last few years is “triggered.” That wasn’t a common word in the first four decades of my life. But recently, it seems like everyone—and their best friend—is “triggered” by the slightest provocation.

Bible Plan: Tackling Disappointment
In the third week of our June series, we are diving into disappointment. More specifically, we're looking at how to handle the inevitable disappointments, detours, and delays that we're dealt with.

It’s Time We Brought Back “Sin”
Yeah, I admit. That’s a clickbait-ish title. But, I assure you, it will make sense eventually. Hear me out.
In recent years, we’ve grown less accustomed to hearing that little three-letter word, “sin.” I’m not talking about popular culture where I wouldn’t expect the word “sin” to be bandied about, unless used to convey something exciting ...
When Your Decisions Aren’t Perfect
I’m at the age where many of life’s major decisions have been ironed out, neatly folded, and tucked away in a drawer. Not all of them, of course. But some of the most significant and confusing decisions are done and dusted: Which colleges should I apply to? What career should I choose? Should I take this job ...
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.
Have you ever had someone interrupt a heartfelt conversation? Maybe you were venting about how unimaginably terrible your boss was or how your ...
