Sharing the Truth in Love in a Cancel Culture
Growing up in a strict Catholic school, I learned to stay under the radar.
“Convent education” in India in the 80’s and 90’s meant wearing impeccable uniforms, down to having a satin bow on your head and polished shoes on your feet. It meant standing up every time a teacher entered the room. It meant being ...
How Do You Approach The Word?
Our kids just wrapped up their exams.
If you live in India, you know exams are a big deal. Or, at least, we make a big deal about them.
Since the kidlings are still doing online school, the hubbers and I have the opportunity to pray with them before they write their papers.
And then we launch them ...
Three Words That Could Be Hindering Your Faith Walk
Couple days ago I read an article on The Gospel Coalition where the author published a speech he shared with a graduating class of High School seniors. In the article, he says:
“Of all the decisions you’ll face this year, the most important one may be whether you get up and go to church on the ...
“Get up and call on your God”
If there’s a Sunday School story etched in our collective memories, it’s the one about Jonah and the big fish. Maybe the David and Goliath incident and Noah’s Ark are close contenders, but these three narratives take home the prize for most beloved children’s church stories of all time.
You may remember the events that unfold ...
Pray Your Way Through Uncertainty (YouVersion Devotional)
None of us are immune from life's "What if's?"
And the last year of the pandemic has only served as a highlight reel of how uncertain our lives can be.
As I write this, my Whatsapp groups are inundated with messages about vaccines and viruses, with concern for loved ones and how to access care packages. India ...
God Carries You, Mama! (+ Free Phone Wallpaper)
Hey friends,
As a slightly (ahem) "older" mom, I figured I should share some nuggets of truth with the mama who is just starting her journey of parenting. Not that I have it all figured out. I don't. Not by a long shot.
But I do know one thing about this parenting gig—I need God in the ...
The Answer to Self-Loathing is Not Self-Love
Hey, friend, here’s a question for you: Have you ever burrowed your way through a bag of crunchy, salty, satisfyingly delicious potato chips? Or, maybe, wolfed down a couple of generous slices of chocolate cake—you know, the kind liberally slathered with dark chocolate ganache?
Those are somewhat rhetorical questions because I don’t know too many of ...
When You Don’t Know Which Way To Turn
Three men walk into a desert and get lost for seven days.
Sounds like the start of a cheesy joke?
Well, there’s no punchline—it’s actually the beginning of an interesting narrative in the book of 2 Kings.
The three men were, in fact, kings. (Not to be confused with the magi who visited baby Jesus, although I’m not ...
A Three-Word Encouragement for the New Year
As I write this post, it’s the last day of a year that has almost turned into a cuss word – and, boy, I’m tired.
I’m so darned tired that for the first time in years, despite there being no social distancing rules in my city, I’m staying home on New Year’s Eve. (Well, that could ...
