Are We Getting Prayer Right?

This past Christmas I received a book that’s given me new eyes through which to read my Bible. The book is called “Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes” by Kenneth E. Bailey. It’s a commentary that goes through the gospels with incredible added depth. It gives layers of understanding through things such as cultural context, root…

Comfortable Christianity

Today we’ll be talking about comfortable christianity. Wait, is there such a thing?! I definitely used to think so. Or maybe I didn’t actually think about it…but I definitely lived like it. You know what I’m talking about- going to church and reading the bible, praying, claiming certain parts of the bible, but avoiding certain…

Seek After Wisdom

The other day I was listening to a podcast as I got ready, and the speaker largely focused on talking about how we can (by God’s grace) live as a Proverbs 31 Woman. For those of you unfamiliar with this scripture, it talks about a woman of noble character. She is trustworthy, reliable, a supporter…

Are ALL Christians Called to Pursue Justice?

Advent…

Advent Week 3: Grace

Advent Week 2: Comforter

I remember a day a while back where I was feeling pretty crappy. I was feeling discouraged, burdened, and alone in my struggle. What did I do? I watched TV. I scrolled through my social media feeds. I ate something that was probably unhealthy. And then I felt better, right?…Nope. I felt just as crappy…

Seasons Of Waiting

“I so badly want a baby, but I’m having trouble getting pregnant. I feel like Motherhood is my calling, why can’t I seem to get pregnant?” “All of my friends are in dating relationships or married…when is it my turn?” “I keep waiting to get the promotion that I feel like I deserve. I don’t…
