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”

Answering the Call: Living in Alignment with God’s Purpose
In my last post, I opened up about how exhausting healing and awakening can feel—how relentless the process can seem when it strips us down to our barest, most vulnerable selves. That post came from a raw, honest moment of struggle, a “come to Jesus” moment where I felt like I had nothing left toContinueContinue reading “Answering the Call: Living in Alignment with God’s Purpose”
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”
Misunderstanding Spirituality: Untangling Magical Thinking and the True Essence of Spiritual Practice
The Internet has become one of the most striking examples in history of why we need the gift of discernment. Scroll through any of the millions of posts or videos on spirituality or faith-based experiences, and it becomes clear: we live in a reality that often blends psychological concepts with spiritual practices, and while thisContinueContinue reading “Misunderstanding Spirituality: Untangling Magical Thinking and the True Essence of Spiritual Practice”
The Sacredness of Sexual Energy: A Spiritual Call for Awareness
Disclaimer: This is not an opinion piece. This is not judgment. This is an urgent spiritual message. Today, I found myself broken open by a story—a story that pulled at the very fibers of my soul and left me sobbing, not from judgment, but from a deep spiritual ache. It was about a young womanContinueContinue reading “The Sacredness of Sexual Energy: A Spiritual Call for Awareness”
When Two Worlds Collide: A Reflection on Soul Connection, Chaos, and Divine Timing
There are moments when the universe speaks directly to you—through a song, a conversation, or even a message stumbled upon at what can only be described as divine timing. Recently, I came across a post titled “When Two Worlds Collide” that stopped me in my tracks. Its words struck a chord so deep it feltContinueContinue reading “When Two Worlds Collide: A Reflection on Soul Connection, Chaos, and Divine Timing”
Actions and Consequences: A Universal Truth Across Belief Systems
I recently found myself facing the difficult realization that I needed to release someone—for the highest good of both of us. It’s never easy when God calls us to turn away from someone we care about deeply, especially when every part of us wants to hold on. But sometimes, no matter how much we careContinueContinue reading “Actions and Consequences: A Universal Truth Across Belief Systems”
