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”
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”
Lay it down.
The Weight We Carry What are you holding onto, and why? Are you carrying the burden of proving your point to someone who isn’t even paying attention? Are you weighed down by grudges, betrayals, or the need to justify yourself? The truth is, holding onto these things doesn’t serve you. It hinders your growth, blocksContinueContinue reading “Lay it down.”
Sunday Sessions: Living, Rather Than Looking, Forward
Life has an odd way of convincing us that fulfillment lies somewhere in the future—a destination waiting to be reached, a chapter still to be written. We spend so much time looking forward to what’s next: the next milestone, the next goal, the next version of ourselves that feels more healed, accomplished, or whole. It’sContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: Living, Rather Than Looking, Forward”
The Profound Language of Senses: Awakening to Higher States of Reality
In our everyday lives, we often think of our senses—sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell—as simple tools to navigate the physical world. But what if these senses were more than just biological mechanisms? What if they were expressions of consciousness itself, layers of awareness that not only anchor us to reality but also expand ourContinueContinue reading “The Profound Language of Senses: Awakening to Higher States of Reality”
Rejecting Foolishness in Faith: Why I Left the Church to Seek Wisdom
“They want me to be a fool.” That’s the thought that echoed through my mind as I sat in the pews of the church where I’d grown up. Week after week, I was told to trust without question, to believe without thinking, to obey without discernment. Blind faith, they called it. But I couldn’t ignoreContinueContinue reading “Rejecting Foolishness in Faith: Why I Left the Church to Seek Wisdom”
The Paradox of Solitude
Busyness is not fulfillment, and solitude is not loneliness. We live in a world that celebrates productivity and connectivity, a world that has reversed these truths. Society at large confuses constant activity with purpose and equates being alone with deprivation. This misunderstanding, I believe, lies at the root of much of humanity’s discontent. Yet, theContinueContinue reading “The Paradox of Solitude”
The Strength in Presence: Lessons of Duality, Forgiveness, and Growth
Letting Go and Learning the Hard Way Letting go has never been easy for me. Over the years, I’ve had to say goodbye to many people—some to death, and others who are still very much alive. As difficult as losing loved ones to death is, I’ve found that the hardest goodbyes are with those whoContinueContinue reading “The Strength in Presence: Lessons of Duality, Forgiveness, and Growth”
Misdiagnosing Growth: The Danger of Labeling Spiritual Awakening as Depression
Nearly twenty years ago, I experienced what I now understand to be a spiritual awakening—a dark night of the soul. But at the time, my attempt to embrace this deeply personal and transformative experience was met with fear, skepticism, and ultimately, suppression. In the eyes of the world, my withdrawal into solitude and reflection wasn’tContinueContinue reading “Misdiagnosing Growth: The Danger of Labeling Spiritual Awakening as Depression”
