5 Writing Lessons From The Bible
Here’s something I wasn’t exactly expecting when I read my Bible a few days ago: That I would be inspired to hone my craft of writing.
But God ministers in unexpected ways. While I have enrolled in multiple writing classes, there’s nothing like the Word to instruct us and lend a depth of meaning to our ...
When The Right Answers Are Not Enough
In the last few weeks, I met several people whose lives speak a story of brokenness.
There’s a lady who works at a salon. Her makeup is on point. But her eyes betray her pain. She has left her two daughters with their grandmother in another state in the North East of India to work in ...
When Your Life Feels “Too Small”
Have you ever been encouraged to “dream big?” Have you been told that you “have what it takes” to make an impact? Have you been cheered on with the message that you can “be anything” you want to be?
Maybe there was some Christianese attached to those statements. Perhaps you were spurred on to dream “God-sized ...
Are You Ready For The Rest Of The Year?
We’re at the halfway point of 2023. If you’re like me, you’re wondering, “How in the world did the year zip by so quickly??!” It seems like the days and weeks have colluded to whiz past us, leaving us in a tizzy.

This Aspect of Prayer May Be Surprising
Imagine a situation where you’re entirely out of food at home. That scenario is tough for me to conjure up because usually, my pantry topples over with towers of unnecessary snacks. But maybe you’ve come back from a long vacation and you had cleaned out the kitchen before you left. Of course, you’re not in ...
When You’re Running On Empty
His shoulders slumped as he sized up the empty baskets. He had pulled an all-nighter but there was nothing to show for it. He would go home empty-handed. His wife wouldn’t ask him any questions because she would notice the disappointment in his eyes. She wasn’t the kind to complain or point fingers. Instead, she ...
What If You Trusted God Like This?
The wind blew back my hair as I plunged down the waterfall. It was a steep drop, plummeting down thousands of feet. In that quick moment, I caught sight of a flash of purple— a flock of birds flew past me. Just when I thought I was done for, I swooped back up and glided ...
How Do I Overcome Anxiety? Part 4 of 4
Earlier this week, one of my heroes of the faith, Tim Keller, went home to be with Jesus.
As I write this post about anxiety to wrap up our four-part series on the topic, it is only befitting to quote this man who fought the good fight with grace and wisdom.
Here is one of Dr. Keller's ...
