Reclaim The Art Of Slowing Down

Four zucchinis lounge on my kitchen counter awaiting their fate. Soon, they will be peeled, shredded, and folded into a batter of flour, sugar, oil, and eggs along with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dash of vanilla. Their sacrifice will be worth it: The aroma of freshly-baked zucchini bread will waft through my house carrying ...

When You’re Unsure About How To Pray

“I have been praying for God to do His will in your situation.” Her words should have brought me comfort. After all, she was praying for me. And praying for God’s will to unfold in my situation. Instead, the words irritated me. I had been praying with all my heart and soul for a breakthrough in my situation. ...

Catch Up On What You May Have Missed

My writer’s hat has not come off for a few weeks as I’ve been creating content for websites, church small group meetings, workshops, and wedding ceremonies. So, this week I’m going to pull the 'busy' card and point you to two articles I wrote for The Gospel Coalition India in February. I pray that both these articles ...

The Time For Revival Is Now

As the world turns the spotlight on the revival taking place at Asbury University, I too am excited. If you happen to have missed the news, on February 8th students of Asbury University in Kentucky gathered for their Wednesday chapel service. But instead of filing out at the end of the service, the students lingered on ...

What Does It Mean To “Pray in Faith”?

For the last few weeks, I have been somewhat anxious. Several things took up space (rent-free, I might add) in my mind. Worry woke me up at odd hours in the night, as I considered outcomes and outputs to certain questions. As I write this post, the answer to several of those questions is still, ...

My mom recently bought me a typewriter as I wanted to add to my vintage memorabilia collection. So far, my repertoire of relics from the past includes a rotary phone that doesn’t work and a music system that belonged to the husband when he was a teen (Given that the hubs may also fall in ...

Help! I Want To Have Consistent Quiet Times!

A year or so ago I decided to give intermittent fasting a trial run. If you’re familiar with the practice, I attempted the 16/8 model where I planned to abstain from food for 16 hours and follow it up with an 8-hour eating window. I know thousands of people across the world have had dazzling ...

What To Do When Doubt Takes Over

We know him as the man who declared he wasn’t worthy to untie Jesus’ sandals. But he was also the man who grew unsure if the Person who walked in those sandals was the One. In Christian circles, we’re well versed with “Doubting Thomas,” the disciple who was AWOL when Jesus appeared after the resurrection. But ...

Be Someone’s “Insurance Agent”

A few days ago, our friends from church who now live in another town met with an automobile accident. By God’s grace, their injuries were minimal but the wife was admitted to a hospital close to our home. When we visited Sarah (name changed) at the hospital, I was surprised to see another acquaintance, a quiet ...
