What if the most honest thing you could say this Thanksgiving is that finding gratitude feels hard?

I never expected my daughter’s favorite movie to spark a conversation about faith and courage, but here we are. Sharing some reflections.

So if you’ve ever wondered if there’s a Christian space that still takes Jesus seriously and welcomes questions, doubt, and all kinds of people… you’re not alone. And you’re welcome here. 5/5

#BAPTISTS
If you've seen headlines this week about a big Baptist gathering in Dallas and thought, “Is this what church is supposed to be?” you’re not alone.
Here’s the thing: not all Baptists are the same. 1/5

It’s not perfect, but it’s a community rooted in freedom, responsibility, and grace. In a time when the loudest voices often divide, I see CBF continuing to do the work of Jesus: healing, loving, and listening. 4/5

EVERY person, no matter where they are born, has within them the image of God. For Christians, this is a truth to not be ignored.

"So God created MANKIND (no exceptions) in God's own image, in the image of God, God created them;
male and female God created them."
Genesis 1:27

Make the jump over the Blue Sky. Undetermined as to when I'll move completely over. Don't post here enough anyway, but I do enjoy reading all of your posts! I'll miss you when I go (so move over to BSky!).

Binging @OnlyMurdersHulu during your first week in a new apartment makes you look at all your new neighbors a bit different.

God’s heart is the first to break at any completed suicide. Yet all the more, God is rooting for us collection of failures who now have a chance to live life as God intends: abundantly. If you are struggling today or any day, dial 988. You’re so very worth it.

Why does my son have a kid’s smart watch? In case he need to call us from school to say goodbye. That’s the main reason.

The sculpture was made by Manuel Oliver whose son, Joaquin was murdered in the Majory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in February 2018.

Almost always, “thoughts and prayers” are immediately answered by God with:

“I hear you. YOU are the answer.”
