Let’s be clear here: purity is not only for single people. Despite that fact, if you looked a Christian books, sermons, and other resources that talk about purity, the vast majority of them would be geared towards singles. A good chunk of them would probably be geared towards the youth group/college age crowd. When we see purity as simply …

Being pure does not mean you have to live in a bubble. Last week, my blog post was about how purity is a process, not some point you can’t cross. If that’s true, that means that even if you know things or have experienced things that maybe you shouldn’t, that doesn’t necessarily make you less pure. The Wrong Idea …

I know I’ve posted on here before about my love hate relationship with fasting. I hate doing it, but I know it’s good for me. For that very reason, I’ve made it one of my goals in 2018 to fast more consistently. I actually just did a guest post for my new friend Kira at her blog Joy Pursued on …

What is Christian purity? “Purity” is not a word most people use in normal conversation, even in church. However, as a single Christian (either in a youth group or young adult’s group), purity is often equated simply with sexual purity or even with virginity. You’re told that it’s of upmost importance that you remain pure for your future spouse. …

First off, can we just say moms are great? The older I get, the more I appreciate moms. I’m in a small group right now with some great moms and hearing their prayer requests reminds me of how hard being a mom really is. God gives moms such a hard job. They pour their hearts and souls into these little …

Honestly, I think February is the worst month. It hasn’t mattered where I’ve lived at the time (and I’ve lived a lot of places), though it’s the shortest month, it just seems to drag on and on. It is the worst. In February, the winter weather seems to have a death grip on the world. We all hope for …
Hey guys! I know I usually only post on Mondays, but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve got a guest post that was released yesterday on The Living Tabernacle blog. My post is on the book of Ecclesiastes (which I’m currently reading for my morning mediation). You should check the post out here. Also, The Living Tabernacle …
Christian Life
Being a part of the church can be hard. While the church is Christ’s body here on earth, it’s still filled with messed up people. It’s not supposed to be, but it can also be a place where we “rank” people according to their spiritual maturity. It can be easy to throw around a lot of spiritual language because it …

Sometimes things that you learned as a kid, even true things, can somehow get skewed in your mind and lead you to believe something false as you’re growing up or even as an adult. I think that’s why I didn’t understand grace very well for most of my life. My Misunderstanding As a kid, I learned that if you …

Last week I wrote about things you should do after you get engaged, if 2017 went out and 2018 started with a bang and a cloud of love and happiness. That’s not everybody’s story though. There’s this great song by The Weepies called “Not Your Year.” Not going to lie, it’s been my theme song on occasion in years past. …
