Perhaps one of the most confusing things about reading the Bible in English is the plethora of different Bibles available. Not only do you have study Bibles, kid’s Bibles, journaling Bibles, etc, you also have what seems to be a never ending number of Bible translations to choose from. What’s up with all these translations? This post will strive to …

The last two weeks, my posts have been on essential elements of Bible reading: knowing the difference between study and devotional reading (and why you need both) and finding a reading guide that works for you. All those things are great, but honestly, the hardest part of Bible reading is just doing it and doing it consistently. How can …
Christian Life, Spiritual Disciplines
Last week’s post focused on the two main ways that we read the Bible: for study and for devotion. We pointed out that both are important. Really, they’re both related to each other too. Now that we’ve looked at Bible reading form a 10,000 foot view, let’s focus in a bit. If I want to read my Bible on …

It’s hard to believe that it’s almost July. 2018 is already over half over! Before we know it, fall will be here, school will be starting back up, and we’ll be getting ready to ease back into the “school year” routine. Somehow, even if you’re not in school, things seem to change pace in the fall. In preparation of …
Recommended Books
The theme of June reading was, in a word, Narnia. This month, I read through all seven of the Narnia books, except The Magicians Nephew, which I finished in May. It was actually a great reading choice for a couple of reasons, mainly: 1) These books are awesome 2) These books are deeper than I remembered and 3) These books …

Last week’s post was all about life rhythms, that they’re a something that God uses for our good. Even though we should embrace whatever season we’re in right now, it’s okay for us to long for something more, especially in the face of disappointment. In reality, until we get to heaven, we’re always going to be longing for something more. …
Christian Life, Life Rhythms
Last week’s blog post was all about the things I think graduates should know. Let’s be real though, graduates aren’t the only ones going through life transitions right now. The truth is that our lives are always in flux. We’re continually in the process of beginning and ending different seasons of our lives. While life can sometimes seem monotonous, …
Life Rhythms
May and June are big graduation months. I’ve seen a fair share of graduations in my social media feeds the last couple of weeks and I’m sure you have too. I even went to my own sister’s graduation at the beginning of May (which was hilarious, by the way, the speaker drank a beer on stage and the people in …

May has been a really busy month for me. I went to Ohio for my sister’s graduation the first weekend, we closed on our house the second weekend, and we’ve been working on said house the other weekends. It’s been a little crazy. Because of that, I’ll be honest and say I haven’t been as on top of my blog …
Wedding
Memorial Day is the official start of summer. Summer means we’re entering wedding season. This means that more than likely, you’ve got at least one person you need to buy a wedding gift for. Wedding presents can be hard to pick out. Sometimes people have great registries and it’s easy to figure out what to buy them. However, sometimes all …
