What do you do when your life feels like it’s crumbling into dust, and God seems silent? Sometimes, it feels like He’s letting you rot—but what if that decay is the first step toward new life? Now, consider this: What if God is not silent at all? What if He’s speaking in a language thatContinueContinue reading “The Rot Before the Resurrection: When God Lets You Break to Build You Back (A Testament to God’s Promises)”

A Solstice Meditation: On Gratitude, Pain, and the Courage to Speak Truth
A Journey into Gratitude and Awakening Winter solstice has arrived, marking the longest night of the year, and I’ve been reflecting deeply on the lessons of my life—particularly on the pain that has shaped me and the truths it has revealed. The solstice reminds us that even the darkest moments have their purpose, for itContinueContinue reading “A Solstice Meditation: On Gratitude, Pain, and the Courage to Speak Truth”
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”
Learn from the Enlightenment My Pain Caused Me (Or How Pain Is the Enlightenment)
I wrote this post a year ago, but the words necessary to appropriately convey it took a lot longer to set in. I used to struggle with anxiety, especially around the holidays. Not the run-of-the-mill holiday stress—this was the kind of anxiety that wrapped itself around my chest, whispering, “Someone’s going to die. Something terribleContinueContinue reading “Learn from the Enlightenment My Pain Caused Me (Or How Pain Is the Enlightenment)”
The Fracture of Belief: How Suppressed Discernment and Political Disillusionment Break the Human Mind
What happens when the foundation of your belief system collapses? When the narrative you’ve trusted—about politics, society, or even your place in the world—crumbles, leaving you disoriented and desperate for answers? For many people, this kind of reckoning feels less like an awakening and more like trauma. It’s the kind of trauma that fractures theContinueContinue reading “The Fracture of Belief: How Suppressed Discernment and Political Disillusionment Break the Human Mind”
Sunday Sessions: The Quiet Journey of Spiritual Maturity and the Challenge of Resistance
Have you ever encountered someone so convinced of their own “wisdom” that they dismissed anything outside their understanding as foolish or wrong? Someone who, rather than engaging thoughtfully or with curiosity, sought instead to control the narrative—to shut down dialogue and assert themselves as “right”? It can be unsettling, even frustrating, to come across suchContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: The Quiet Journey of Spiritual Maturity and the Challenge of Resistance”
From Pain to Purpose: How Faith, Integrity, and Gratitude Transformed My Trauma into Growth
What if the greatest tragedies of your life were actually the catalysts for your transformation? What if faith, honesty, and gratitude could take you from the depths of despair to a life filled with purpose and peace? I’ve lived through my fair share of pain—loss, caregiving, exhaustion, and moments of doubt so deep I almostContinueContinue reading “From Pain to Purpose: How Faith, Integrity, and Gratitude Transformed My Trauma into Growth”
Wintering: When Healing Feels Endless
This morning, I had a come to Jesus moment. I found myself crying, exhausted, and angry. So tired of tears, so tired of healing, so tired of growing. I texted someone I love, saying I wished this was the end of awakening, because every time I think I’m nearing a conclusion, it just deepens. IContinueContinue reading “Wintering: When Healing Feels Endless”
