    Fighting for peace

    Oh how our minds, when left on their own, strive to control, to plan, to ruminate, to live anywhere but the present. Going to beautiful places will not do anything for us unless we change the landscape of our minds in midst of it all. 

  • Wholeness

    Our body is a holy place

    When it comes to trauma and the brain, God has hardwired our bodies for healing and restoration. He wired our nervous system for balance. This can be a very long process, and he enters into it with us.

    It is good: a body scan meditation

    As faithful Christians, we are not called to escape from our bodies, or to shame them. Rather, we are called to live in harmony with our bodies and give thanks for this temporary place where our souls may dwell here on earth.

    What faith is

    Faith is one big trust-fall into the arms of a gracious Father whose steadfast love fills the hole in my heart so much so that I cannot help but believe its all true.

  • the love of Christ
    Wholeness

    The love of Christ changes everything

    The love of Christ empowers me more than any self-help book I've ever read, calms my mind more than any coping skill I've tried, satisfies the striving deep within I could never put words to, yet built my life around trying to fix, solve, and quench.
