Last year as I was sitting around a table drinking tea and sharing what was going on in my life with my mentor she told me something that I will never forget. Something so unbelievably awful I couldn’t believe she had the nerve to utter it out loud. She said six simple, yet profound words. […] Read more…
There’s a serious epidemic in Christianity that is spreading quickly today, especially in civilized countries. You may have heard of it, you may have seen it, or just like me, you may be the one who has it. What is it? Spiritual blindness. The ability to become blind to those around us.

A prayer that is constantly on my heart. “Break my heart for what breaks Yours”. And God has answered that prayer, because heartbroken I […] Read more…
We live in a culture that is obsessed with self. Just look at the magazine covers as you stand in a grocery line. Scan through your instagram or facebook feed. Watch an episode of a reality tv show. And you’ll hear what everyone is trying to say. Maybe not verbally, but still very clearly. “It’s […] Read more…
Sometimes when I step into church I feel like I’m attending a masquerade. A place full of perfect people hiding behind masks.
