You Can't -- I would give anything to go 20, 30 years into the future for just 5 minutes to get a glimpse as to whether or not I’m parenting in a way that will raise two boys the right way. But I can’t. Instead, I carry the weight daily of a million different directions that things could go, and I sit every night wishing on at least some of them, more often many of them, that I had made different choices. And I often find myself wishing that I could know if they’ll turn into kind, respectful, confident, caring, well-adjusted adults, so

Discovering the Timeless Goodness of God: Lessons from the Prophet Micah -- Exploring the “Good Life” Through the Lens of Scripture What does it mean to live the “good life”? This is a question that has captivated humanity for centuries, and it’s one that the prophet Micah grappled with in his own time. In our modern world, the pursuit of the “good life” often revolves around material wealth, status, and personal fulfillment. But as Micah’s message reminds us, true goodness is found not in the things of this world, but in a right relationship with the God who created us. Micah’s Prophetic Voice in a Troubled Time The prophet Micah lived during

The Timelessness of God's Love -- Imagine the wonder of time travel – visiting the past and witnessing both change and constancy. One thing that remains unchanged is God’s love. Unlike human love, which can falter or fade, God’s love is perfect, sacrificial, and unwavering. As a pastor once put it, “Has anybody ever said that they so loved you, even after knowing your faults, and still come back to say, ‘I’m so in love with you’?” That’s the kind of love God has for us. God’s love is not affected by the passage of time or by changing circumstances. It is agape love, characterized by

Navigating the Next Steps: Lessons from the Early Church -- Embracing the Unknown with Faith As followers of Christ, we often find ourselves in uncharted territory, much like the early church did after Jesus’ departure. The disciples were left to wonder, “What’s next?” They had to navigate the unknown, relying on their faith to guide them forward. This sense of uncertainty can be daunting, but it also presents an opportunity to deepen our relationship with God and discover the incredible ways He works in our lives. There are lessons we can glean from the early church’s journey, as they grappled with the question of “What’s next?” By examining the experiences

Not For You -- We are in the golden age of information. Open up your favorite app, and you are inundated with quick bursts of information. Some people claim that making simple changes such as altering your perspective, rephrasing your thoughts, incorporating a new coping skill, taking a supplement, or adjusting your diet can help you feel better. Many things claim to be the missing piece you’ve been looking for. And sometimes? Sure, they may be right. It’s great when the sustainable changes we implement create noticeable differences. But lately, it’s as if I inevitably open social media, and overwhelming feelings consume me. Much

Nuanced -- We have made significant progress in our understanding of mental health. We have increased awareness, there has been a surge in vulnerability and opening up about experiences with mental health, and we’ve seen many take the leap and obtain mental health services. This is terrific, and so much good has come from this. However, Freya India wrote on her Substack that perhaps we’ve moved to pathologizing too much. Perhaps we’ve left too little room for nuance and personality. Freya often talks about the effects of therapy culture, and one of those effects is that we have progressed to labeling and

Elated Joy -- I spend parts of my days watching my youngest son try to figure out crawling. He’ll push himself up as high as he can on his hands, stick his tongue out to the side, then lunge forward and kick his legs as fast as he can. Watching his older brother speed around throughout our days has convinced him that fast is best. But, despite the immense amount of effort, he pushes himself back up on his hands only to find he has not moved an inch. But he smiles, and he tries again. And I smile, as I enjoy watching

Slow Stroll -- Good ol’ Facebook memories popped up with a quote I shared many years ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t reference where it came from, and it was so many years ago that I haven’t been able to remember it. But a part of the quote mentioned that we desire life to move at a sprint when all the while it’s moving at a stroll. And I quite like that. I find my yearning for things to happen is often felt with a hurried desire. I want that thing now. I want that celebration to happen now. I want to figure that skill
