i write about living life well… a legacy is something we live, not leave.
James writes his letter to early Jewish Christians dispersed among the nations, addressing their struggles with living out their faith in a world that challenged their beliefs and tested their character. His audience consisted of believers who were well-acquainted with the Jewish Law but were navigating the new reality of salvation through faith in Christ….
Balance is often misrepresented as a delicate scale requiring equal weight across all aspects of life. For years, I believed this too, chasing perfection by trying to give everything and everyone the same amount of energy and attention. It left me fragmented and exhausted and far from whole. My journey toward true balance was not…
A Gift Sexuality is one of God’s most profound gifts, intricately designed to reflect intimacy, unity, and love. It is not merely a physical act but a deeply spiritual experience that mirrors the covenantal relationship between Christ and His church. As believers, we are called to embrace this gift with reverence and joy, celebrating its…
The Discipline of Fasting: Subtraction for Discovery, Discipline, and Devotion Fasting, as a spiritual discipline, has been practiced across centuries and cultures, from the early biblical narratives to modern health-conscious societies. Yet, its true purpose transcends physical abstinence. At its core, fasting is an act of intentional subtraction—removing worldly dependencies to create space for discovery,…
Salvation: The Work of the Spirit Alone I have heard it said too many times that a person’s salvation depends on their understanding of doctrine. People argue that regeneration is proven by how precisely someone grasps sovereign grace or whether they agree with a set of theological points. Let me say this plainly: that is…
Intimacy has often been discussed and understood in narrow terms for much of my life. We’re told intimacy culminates in physical or romantic closeness, tethered to relationships that fit into familiar, accepted frameworks.

What is an opinion but a spark, a flicker of thought? Opinions come swiftly, shaped by past notions and the familiar. They require no great search, no stretching of the mind. But do they truly hold weight? Do they invite us deeper? Consider this: An opinion doesn’t demand of us— it doesn’t command precision, it…
For a long time, I’ve found myself driven by a single question that has shaped every role I’ve held, every interaction I’ve navigated, and every challenge I’ve faced: What does it mean to be truly authentic? At first, I thought authenticity was about being honest, saying what’s on your mind, and staying true to your…
In times like these, I find my mind returning again and again to the steadying presence of God’s Word. The uncertainty and division surrounding presidential elections, particularly those as fiercely contested as this one, can feel overwhelming. It stirs in us a mixture of hopes and fears, pulling us into the tension of wanting outcomes…
In the 2024 U.S. presidential race, I see two distinct visions for America’s future, each embodied in the candidacies of Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. These two candidates sit at opposite ends of the spectrum on everything from economic policy to healthcare, immigration, climate change, education, civil liberties, and the role…
