We hear it all the time: You’re worthy. Remember your worth. It’s everywhere—on social media, in self-help books, and even whispered in moments of prayer. But how many of us actually believe it? Even the Bible tells us we were worthy enough for God to send Jesus to die for our sins. Yet, growing upContinueContinue reading “Worthiness: The Quiet Truth We’re Missing”

A Hero’s Wisdom: Lessons from My Father’s Library and Encouragement for Grieving Children
All of this reflection sparked by a book has me wishing, desperately, that my dad was still here. I miss him so much—especially in moments like this, when I feel so moved by his books. He loved them. I know where he stood on them, what he believed. But when he was alive, I just…IContinueContinue reading “A Hero’s Wisdom: Lessons from My Father’s Library and Encouragement for Grieving Children”
Decoding the Disconnect: What the Bible Code Reveals About Spirituality and Society
I almost began this post with the statement, “It was just one book. I read a single book, and my entire reality began to make zero sense to me.” As I wrote that, another thought crept in: many would say, “And that’s your problem. You read too much—why do you always seek to disturb theContinueContinue reading “Decoding the Disconnect: What the Bible Code Reveals About Spirituality and Society”
When the Fight Feels Endless: On Relapse, Abuse, and Grief

Starting the Year in Chaos: A Spiritual Battle, the Armor of God, and Writing Through the Storm
This was initially to be included at the end of this post, but it is far too important to make a footnote out of it: All of us here at the Twin Tree Project send love, prayers, and support to those affected by the terror attack in New Orleans, our heart home, yesterday. New OrleansContinueContinue reading “Starting the Year in Chaos: A Spiritual Battle, the Armor of God, and Writing Through the Storm”
When the Sting Comes: Wisdom and Love for 2025
When I was a kid, my father was a beekeeper. Stings were inevitable—especially for a curious, stubborn, fearless kid like me. I suppose God knew my dad would need a little extra wisdom, so He blessed him with plenty of good, old-fashioned common sense. And when it came to bee stings, my dad’s solution wasContinueContinue reading “When the Sting Comes: Wisdom and Love for 2025”
Confronting Darkness: A Call to Sacred Healing and Connection
Growing up, I often debated with my father and his church elder friends about morality and religion. I believed, way back then, that moral character could exist independently of faith—that knowing the difference between right and wrong was enough. My youthful self argued that choosing good simply required knowledge and a personal commitment to actContinueContinue reading “Confronting Darkness: A Call to Sacred Healing and Connection”
Gratitude and Joy on This Journey
This morning was moving beyond words. As I sat with tears in my eyes, preparing to journal and reflecting on the conversation I shared in my last post, I realized something profound: the flood of gratitude within me is the joy we often speak about—the joy the Bible promises. It’s not so much a rewardContinueContinue reading “Gratitude and Joy on This Journey”
God is Bigger Than the Bible
One of the most common responses to my posts about spirituality is the claim that it’s “new age nonsense.” It’s as if some people fail to see God and the very things He expressly teaches us simply because they don’t come with a chapter and verse attached. At the same time, many believe they’re walkingContinueContinue reading “God is Bigger Than the Bible”
