Discipleship

The Narrow Path for the Long Haul

The benefits of having faith stretch far beyond a spiritual checkbox. They seep into how I handle stress, find hope, and relate to others.

Suffering From Spiritual Anemia

It is a huge responsibility to parent a child. Not just at the beginning of life but also in the middle and at the end. Because being a mother never stops.

More Than Taking a Nap

Cultivating a life of rest involves understanding its value, learning to take breaks, and allowing margin in our lives.

Another way to thrive in stressful times is to fall in love with living out your faith. No matter what you do each day, no matter what job you have, there are always moments for ministry.

When You Find Yourself Drifting

The love of Christ meets us in those in between times when we are tempted to stray.
