Hey! Soooo...I kinda completely disappeared. Sorry about that. I received ALL the messages and questions (in real life, too) and understand everyone's confusion on my absence. And to be honest, I don't know the exact reason for being gone so long. I could give you a couple different accurate answers, but when it comes …

Kate Spade. Anthony Bourdain. Robin Williams. Maybe your friend. Family. Co-workers. An acquaintance. These people all have something in common. They committed suicide. They chose to give up any happiness they may have experienced later on down the road, (maybe when things got better) because it all became too much. They chose to leave behind …
Sabina Wurmbrand (1913-2000) was a woman who chose to sacrifice a comfortable life, accepting society for what it was, and having her family all safe at home together for a life of prison, hardship, and separation from her husband and son. Instead of folding laundry and washing dishes, she spent her days witnessing in disease …

We never plan for the “no’s” in life. We never plan to have our dreams shattered by this small two letter word. It’s a word used so commonly, and yet, there are times when it can be so devastating. We’ve spoken this word since we first learned to talk, saying “no” to anything and anyone. But …
In a short wrap-up, 2017 was surprisingly difficult for our nation and world, alike. In the time-span of one year, we experienced the California wildfires, the Las Vegas mass shooting, removal of monuments, political marches, Hurricane Harvey (and Irma and Maria), President Trump's Presidential inauguration, the North Korea missile test, Chile legalized abortion, Taiwan legalized …

So, being a teenager. Well, for starters, it's crazy. You're in this 5-6 year range of trying to figure out who you are, what you'll be, and what God wants you to do with your life in the first place. You're getting older and being introduced to responsibilities that you never signed up for and …
I believe a good study Bible in a solid translation can make all the difference in your daily devotion time. It's important to choose them carefully to make sure that the extra notes publishing companies include are theologically accurate. Sadly, many Christian teens don't realize the importance of translation and version, so we pick up …
Don’t try to do it all. Do more good. Better. I am no productivity guru. I am a writer, a church leader, a husband, and a father—a Christian with a lot of responsibilities and with new tasks coming at me all the time. I wrote this short, fast-paced, practical guide to productivity to share what …

As I look around, I see people my age, and younger, dating around, and giving their hearts to multiple people. These people they date and give parts of their hearts to, they typically stop dating a couple weeks or months later. Even couples that have been together for years, often end up in heartbreak. Is there …
Ten years ago I got the crazy idea that I wanted to be a writer. After completing a homeschool creative writing project when I was about nine years old, I discovered that penning stories made me feel something I hadn’t felt before. And from that point on I determined in my heart that I wanted …

I was saved when I was 7 years old. When I asked Jesus into my heart, there wasn't much fanfare. I had known of Him my whole life, grew up in a Christian home, church, convictions, etc. And although I knew He had the power to save (I really did believe it), I just now …
