The Power of Touch. And it’s crutch – this man’s thoughts

Posted on January 19, 2025January 20, 2025 by James

When a Man is Wanted, Loved, Touched, and Known I’ve lived through the seasons of what it feels like to be wanted and the emptiness of what it feels like when you’re not. There’s a shift that happens in a man when his wife wants him, not just as a partner in life, not just…

Posted on January 18, 2025January 18, 2025 by James

A Grounded Identity is Like Aerodynamics In 1934, Tatra Car Manufacturing created a simple yet brilliant image to explain aerodynamics. The air, once chaotic and untamed, glided effortlessly over the sleek curves of their design. No drag. No resistance. Just flow. It wasn’t magic; it was precision, an intentional shaping that allowed the air to…

Posted on January 17, 2025January 18, 2025 by James

Fear as Fuel: A Journey into Adventure and Growth (A Reflection on an Old Discovery) Fear is universal. It touches every part of our lives, shaping the choices we make and the paths we take. For many, fear feels like a wall; stopping progress, stalling dreams, and creating hesitation. But what if fear isn’t the…

Dead Faith, We’re Saved, Let’s Live It.

Posted on January 12, 2025January 13, 2025 by James

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 in Life: Authentic Living by Core Values and Identity

Posted on January 9, 2025January 9, 2025 by James

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…

The Gift of Sexuality: A Reflection on God’s Design, Intimacy, and Redemption

Posted on January 7, 2025January 7, 2025 by James

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…

Fasting isn’t for Everyone… Discovery, Not Disaster

Posted on December 22, 2024December 22, 2024 by James

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,…

Life in the Spirit: The Simplicity of Knowing God

Posted on December 14, 2024December 14, 2024 by James

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.

Deeper Connections: The Path to True Intimacy

Posted on November 12, 2024January 15, 2025 by James

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 and accepted frameworks. But my journey has revealed something different, something far more layered, nuanced, and ultimately, more fulfilling. This journey has been about…
