Growing up in a Southern Baptist Church in America one doesn’t follow a lot of the orthodox traditions. Easter for me has always consisted of Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Of course I learned about Palm Sunday too, but the week leading to Resurrection Sunday is just your average week for most American Baptists. In […]
Input Before Output: And How to Manage in a World Driven by Content Creation
Influencers, new content, ring lights, followers, reels, live streams. If you have no clue what I’m talking about you probably don’t spend a lot of time on social media networks. If you do, then you know that we live in a world that has created so many unique opportunities. Average people are rising to fame […]
Not Your Typical Christian Music List
I’m starting this post with a disclaimer that my top 2020 music categories on Spotify were Indie Acoustic, Neo Mellow, Stomp and Holler, and Anthem Worship. I didn’t even know half of those existed but if the shoe fits…what can I say? I grew up on Christian radio and remember when KLOVE was the newest, […]

Single and Celebrating Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day was always a day full of potential for me- potential for happiness or for disappointment. It all started with those boxes of Valentine’s cards you’d buy to hand out at school every year.

When Reading the Bible is Boring
What should I do when reading the Bible just feels…boring?
Seeking Bethlehem
We walked through the small town and out to the bridge that sits resting just under the nearest mountain. The moon sat quietly above as though it had been hung just a short distance above the tallest peak. To the left of the mountain stood the town and its people as they went about their […]
Luke 4: A Prophet Returns to His Hometown
Luke 4 is a familiar passage for many. The quote, ‘no prophet is accepted in his hometown.’ is one I have known for years now. What I had forgotten was the context. Here is Jesus preaching in his hometown of Nazareth. He’d previously left his town for Capernaum and began his Earthly ministry. But here […]
Cartas de Amor
Imagina conmigo que eres tú: una chica soltera viviendo su vida como normal. Quizás estás estudiando, trabajando o ayudando a la familia en casa. Tienes tu grupito de amigos y vas a la iglesia los domingos (o en estos tiempos te conectas a las reuniones en zoom de vez en cuando). Hay un chico de […]
