The amount of times the phrase “he did evil in the sight of the Lord” appears in some way in the Old Testament is shocking. As I’ve been studying 1 and 2 Chronicles, this phrase has struck me the most. Moreover, the amount of leaders, those who were supposed to lead people into relationship with …
If I had a bucket list of things I wanted to accomplish, something that would be at the top of it is becoming more flexible. I got this tattoo that says “dance” two years ago. While, looking back, I don’t think I’d get it again, at the time it meant several things to me, one …
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 I’ve been thinking a lot about the Biblical merit for not being in “comfort” zones. What is “comfort?” The Word says that HE is my comfort (Jeremiah 8:18). …
All I can think about right now is hitting my pillow. I hate sounding dramatic, but my eyelids are so heavy and my whole body is exhausted from not stopping all day. And that could easily be for nothing. I could easily work this body hard and fast for a single purpose: my own feelings …

My uncle takes the most amazing photos of wildlife I’ve ever seen. He has travelled to remote places just to capture rare birds from behind his lens. They could certainly be sold for hundreds of dollars with the sort of quality they possess. When I asked him, though, if he planned on selling them, his …
Hi Friends! Today I am so excited to be sharing an article that I wrote for a beautiful magazine called LoveIsMoving. When the wonderful creator of this magazine, Conor Sweetman, asked me to write for his magazine, all he prompted me was to write about how technology has impacted my faith. In his “editor’s note,” Conor …
As a follower of Jesus, it is probably the question I’ve personally been asked most often. If God is all-knowing… knows what’s gonna happen, knows me inside and out, is GOD… then what’s the point of praying? I think that there are endless good answers to this question, but I’m gonna answer it really basically today. First …
You were born to influence. These are the notes from a sermon I delivered at the high school youth group at the church I’m interning at a couple weeks ago. I want us first to set ourselves in a place of receiving if you can do that with me. Jesus says in Matthew 18:20: “For …
