Helping you connect your faith with your real life
What do we do when life feels busy? How do we hold onto our faith when it seems like everything is chaotic? Finding peace is easier than we think. I had about twelve places to be. Or at least it felt that way. I had work to get done and dinner to make and I’m
I’ve written a lot about being real. Living authentic and being true to who God made us to be is at the core of my message. Grace upon grace. I’ve even written about things I’m done apologizing for (which I still firmly stand behind and could probably add to). But in truth, I come across a lot
I’ve never really understood sports. I get the concept of the games, but cheering for one side baffles me. Is that weird? I always seem to find myself wondering if I’m on the right side. My son plays basketball. It’s a rec team and every Saturday he faces off against a friend or two on

Sometimes I’m not sure what to pray. I know there are words I can say, things I can tell God or ask Him, but nothing seems quite right. Instead of praying anyway I’ve been quiet, closing off the communication between me and God because it doesn’t feel quite right. In all honesty, I should know
It was right there in front of me, easy as could be. I just had to click and I would be given the 10 Steps to Finally Figuring Life Out. So easy, right? Okay, there was no “10 Steps to Finally Figuring Life Out,” but wouldn’t it be nice if there was? It would make life
Most days it seems like the world is screaming at me. Phones ding, inboxes fill up, work and family demands pile higher and higher. Everything feels so loud. And all I want to do is sit in the quiet I can’t seem to find. Does your life feel loud? Here are 5 simple ways to
