“Did he remember to put on the armour?” “I wonder if he remembered to put on the armour of God when he woke up that morning.” Yes. Someone actually said this to my elder brother shortly after we lost our brother in a car collision that was no fault of his own. You might assume […]

When AI Helps, and When It Crosses a Line
The good news first I want to start with the good news, because for me, it matters. AI has genuinely improved my quality of life. Living with physical disabilities means some everyday tasks take far more energy than they should. Tools like voice-to-text, intelligent editing, and organizational assistance have given me back time and focus […]
Stop Camping in Regret
I’ve been thinking a lot about regret lately. Not the kind that brings change through brief and healthy reflection, but the kind that stalls me from moving forward. Regret can sound spiritual. It can look like humility or maturity. But when I linger there too long, it stops being helpful. It becomes a place I […]
Christmas Miracles Involve Our Hearts
When Christmas miracles happen they usually involve our hearts Over a decade ago, I witnessed something one Sunday morning that has stayed with me ever since. I was attending a church made up largely of single parents and low-income families. That morning, Christmas miracles took place in the form of Christmas cards quietly handed out. […]
God is Not Tired of You
When your heart starts saying, “God is tired of me” There are a few truths I return to when I feel weary, confused, or tempted to draw the wrong conclusions about my current circumstances. God is good. He intends good for our lives. And He is not worn down by our need. That last one […]

Feeling parched is something I know well. I have had seasons where my “just Jesus and me” mentality left me spiritually dry, wondering why everything felt like it was slipping away. “He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” Psalm 107:9 When I look at this verse in context, it speaks directly […]
The Deeper Work We Can’t Do Alone
I spent a lot of years trying to fix the parts of me that felt broken. Inner healing matters, but I’ve learned it can’t take the place of a real relationship with God. Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t found by digging deeper. Sometimes it comes by getting quiet enough to hear what He’s saying right now. […]
The Freedom That Comes When We Clear Space
There is a deep freedom that comes when we clear space in our hearts and let Jesus walk with us into the places we avoid. I used to watch a home improvement show where people finally faced the rooms they had ignored for years. Attics. Basements. Garages packed so full that no one remembered what […]
Disability is Not a Lesson Sent by God
My disability is not a lesson sent by God There is a less than helpful belief that still shows up in church spaces, spoken or unspoken: that God sends disability, sickness, or hardship to teach us a lesson. It might sound spiritual on the surface, but underneath it paints God as an abusive parent. That […]
