As long time readers have already noticed, for the past couple of weeks I haven’t posted much. I’m aware—even I have noticed my own silence in almost uncomfortable ways, and felt that familiar tug: “Shouldn’t I be posting something? Shouldn’t I be showing up more?” But as I shared in my last blog post (andContinueContinue reading “The D-Word: Dodging or Discernment?”

Sunday Sessions: The Ache That Was Never Depression
I actually wrote this last week—but didn’t post it. I am posting it now, late, because God wouldn’t let me keep it buried. I didn’t post it because I was afraid. Genuinely afraid. Not because I didn’t believe it was true, but because I’ve been conditioned to be afraid of my own truth. Conditioned toContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: The Ache That Was Never Depression”
Sunday Sessions: The Love We Notice While It’s Here
Writing this post feels like déjà vu—like I’ve written it before. Maybe I have. But it hit me again this morning, and I’m sharing it anyway. We can never have too many reminders to notice what we’re grateful for, to hold it close before it’s gone. Every morning, my mother-in-law texts me. Just a simpleContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: The Love We Notice While It’s Here”
The Observer at the Center: A Journey Through Cosmos and Connection
There’s a profound resonance in the idea that the “infinite universe” has no center, yet the “observable universe” pivots around the observer—you, me, each of us standing as a singular point of perception in an endless expanse. This rings true, even in a Biblical sense, if you delve deeply enough to weave it into notContinueContinue reading “The Observer at the Center: A Journey Through Cosmos and Connection”
From Rage to Refuge: The Power of Voice and Silence
This morning, I was ready to chuck my laptop out the window. Seriously—technical difficulties had me so worked up I could’ve screamed, except I was too busy wrestling with a platform that wouldn’t cooperate. I’m still shaking my head as I write this. (Side note: if you’re signed up for inbox updates, I’m so sorryContinueContinue reading “From Rage to Refuge: The Power of Voice and Silence”
Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence | “Authenticity Unveiled” Series
In the 3D reality we inhabit, image is everything. From social media profiles to first impressions, people go to great lengths to curate how they are perceived. But while appearances can be manipulated, your energy—the essence of who you are—is something that cannot be faked. It is your spiritual face card, and in both the physical andContinueContinue reading “Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence | “Authenticity Unveiled” Series”
A Psychologist’s Perspective on Mental Illness, Avoidance, and the Path to Healing
The Post That Sparked This Discussion I’ve been seeing more and more posts like this one, and frankly, it’s exhausting. The comment sections are often filled with people (rightfully) holding the individuals accountable for their behavior, but what’s missing in these discussions is any consideration for what led them here or useful correspondence. Especially ifContinueContinue reading “A Psychologist’s Perspective on Mental Illness, Avoidance, and the Path to Healing”
Sunday Sessions: It’s a Beautiful Day
There’s a song I think we’ve all heard at least once in passing, whether on social media, in reels, or shorts: “Lord, thank you for sunshine, thank you for rain. Thank you for joy, thank you for pain. It’s a beautiful day. It’s a beautiful day.” I haven’t been on social media much lately. TheContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: It’s a Beautiful Day”
The Lost Art of Common Sense: Skills We Need to Reclaim
We started this series to break down the nonsensical, one-sided, imbalanced takes we see repeated over and over—ideas that make absolutely no sense yet somehow dominate mainstream conversations. These takes are almost always based on “what works for me” rather than “what works for the majority of people,” and that self-centered, shortsighted mindset is theContinueContinue reading “The Lost Art of Common Sense: Skills We Need to Reclaim”
The Cognitive Theoretical Model’s (CTMU’s) Philosophical Implications for Everyday Life
The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) offers a framework for understanding reality that goes far beyond abstract theory. At its core, the CTMU provides a profound philosophical lens through which we can view ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. By framing reality as a unified, self-referential system, the CTMU challenges us toContinueContinue reading “The Cognitive Theoretical Model’s (CTMU’s) Philosophical Implications for Everyday Life”
