“Alight, this week Jordan is sharing his testimony. Next week, Lydia and Zach will go.” Have you heard something similar to that before? If you’ve ever attended some type of Christian small group, you probably have. Rather than fun, break the ice and get to know each other games, Christians are often asked to share
If you’ve lost a friend or loved one, you know grief. You know that it comes and goes. Some days it is unbearable. Other days it is a constant hum in the background of your mind as you try to get back to your normal routine. One that is missing a very important person. Whether
This isn’t just a blog post written for views or ranking high in Google. I’m writing this blog post for me… and then, hopefully, for you. The title, “What’s the point of prayer?” is something I’ve found myself asking more than ever this past week. As I’ve immersed myself in a constant state of prayer

I have felt far from God for a while now. It’s not a great feeling. So, in an effort to learn what to do when you feel far from God, I did what likely got you to this article. I turned to Google in hopes that someone out there has felt the same way as
The thought came to me late one night while laying in bed falling asleep. Most of my “half-awake, half-asleep musings” aren’t noteworthy, at least not in the morning when I really take the time to process them.

As a child, you often don’t have power over the situation but instead are a recipient of other people’s decisions–indirectly affected by the thoughts, feelings, actions, and behaviors of those around you.

Food. Nourishment. Enjoyment. Community. Creativity. Food. Overindulgent. Painful. Isolation. Addiction. It isn’t a “common” addiction. To some, it isn’t considered an addiction at all.
