hope

Jehovah-Jireh: A study on hope, revisited.

We could all use some hope. Because many of us are scared. Jehovah-Jireh is Hebrew, and is translated “The Lord Will Provide.” Of course He will; but why do we so often behave like He won’t?

Brain in chaos

Cruising through chaos, revisited.

Some time back I developed a workshop/course called Cruising Through Chaos. My intent was to equip folks with the proper emotional, mental, and spiritual tools to not only survive the chaos we find ourselves in, but to even thrive in the midst of it.

suffering

3 reasons why you’re suffering and what to do about it.

Maybe you aren’t suffering. Perhaps you have in the past. If not, you will in the future. Suffering is part of the human condition. There’s no escaping it. It won’t go away. And, believer, you aren’t exempt from it. If anything, suffering is more common to Christians than not. That is typically not a part […]

it's mandatory

It’s mandatory.

I thought with the advent of COVID-19, we could unite against a common foe. No one has been untouched by this blight. My bad. “United” is not a term I’d come close to using. What a shame. It didn’t have to be this way.

Stick a fork in me. I’m done with this COVID junk. I have to do something for me and for y’all, even if it’s an unlikely remedy. I don’t think it is.

How to live in fear.

Some people live in fear. That fear is dependent on the circumstances they perceive themselves to be in, and the worst fear for many is the fear of dying. It doesn’t have to be that way.

What is truth

What is truth?

There is absolute truth out there. Don’t be afraid of it.

I have COVID.

I have COVID -19. Isn’t that something. What was in the abstract is now an up-close and personal experience. There is some kind of irony at work here. I wrote a course, COVID Crusher, some weeks ago. It was to encourage folks who are feeling the emotional and mental strain of COVID. Obviously, it isn’t […]

what's the difference

What difference does it make?

Have you ever said that? “What difference does it make?” I have. And the extension of that thought is even darker: “What difference do I make?” Many of us, I’ll wager, would like to make an impact on the world around us. To leave a mark, as it were. There’s something comforting about living a […]

guard your heart

Guard your heart.

Guard your heart. But is what your heart does out of your control? Are your feelings all over the map these days?
