Fear Reveals Where We Trust God Least

Standing Firm When Honesty Equals Isolation
When you blow up at step K after silently enduring steps A through J, people love to focus on your reaction while ignoring what caused it.

Read today’s post on standing in the truth when isolation follows honesty.

Jesus didn't just set boundaries with the townspeople of Nazareth; He set them with His own immediate family when they tried to interrupt His calling.

Are you trying to look like someone or something? Growth requires intention—and sometimes, it requires hard boundaries. In my latest post, I reflect on outgrowing old patterns, learning from Jesus’ boundaries in Nazareth, and giving God my full focus in the season of who I am becoming.
Lessons from a New Orleans Hostel
For years, I apologized for my strong, honest voice after being misunderstood in arguments.

The Gift of Not Knowing Everything
I want a faith that runs deeper than my feelings—an anchor rooted in gratitude, shaped by my past, and held by a God whose love cannot be shaken by anything this world throws at me.
Walking the Wire: Genetics, Faith, and the Fear of Losing My Mind
What happens when your clinical knowledge as a nurse collides with your deepest personal fear? With a family history of severe schizophrenia, I’ve spent years walking the fine line between medical criteria and spiritual faith—constantly asking if my spontaneous moments are mania or a step of faith. In my latest post, I dive into family genetics, biblical figures who hit mental limits, and why our biology will never have the final say over God’s sovereignty.
The Pavilion & The Highway: Lessons from a Spontaneous Journey
What happens when trying to do all the things finally reaches a breaking point?
