It took me three sittings to get through Nefarious, the Christian horror film recently released by Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon, starring Sean Patrick Flanery and Jordan Belfi. I was curious about this artistic endeavor both as someone who appreciates the power of story and as someone who grew up around demonization. If you’ve heard …

Being Human: Who we are, Where we came from, Where we’re headed
Have you noticed the assault on our humanity is escalating? It happens through abuse, cultural influences, education, technological advancements, medical coercion, and political messaging. This is significant not just from a biological or practical day-to-day level, but from a spiritual and eternal perspective as well. I may do a second part of this that talks …

Beauty & the Truth: Keys to Overcoming Trauma (The Opposite of “Self Help”)
My soul was saved by beauty and truth. Abused, abandoned, violated and gaslit, there was nobody to help me, and “self help” was even more impossible for a child than it is for grown adults. It is possible to learn for yourself, but I don’t think it’s possible to learn from yourself. It is not …

Moving Forward in Uncertainty (I’m back!)
Times like this will make or break you. It’s been two years since I posted online. Incredibly unnerved by the chaos and delusion sweeping the earth, reflected on social media, I signed out of facebook and closed my laptop. I chased sunsets and painted pictures.

Watch Your Back: Guilt, Movements, & the Armour of God
Guilty or not guilty. This question is at the center of scripture and undergirds the Christian faith. It’s popular to emphasize our love connection with God and to encourage one another in this way: that God loves us, we are cherished, we have relationship with Him and that’s all He really wants. All of this …

2020 Rescue Remedy: Scriptures on Identity, Race & Unity
“I feel like the entire country is emotionally burnt out,” my friend told me. I laughed because she’s 100% right. Resources are flying around like crazy, so here are some resources for your spirit. “This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life.” – Psalm 119:50 NKJV “It is the …

Love Not Judge: When Opinion Becomes Sin
I expect the world to get swept up in hate and judgment, but when the redeemed of the Man who said “love your enemies” lay down their crosses to pick up swords, something is wrong. Do you feel your government is oppressing you, or behaving ignorantly? Jesus: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You …
What Does the Bible Say about Conspiracy Theories?
It’s been very curious to me that Plandemic has circulated – in my social media circle, anyway – mainly through Christians. Is this more cultural backlash stemming from years of the fear of man? Frightened believers in North America didn’t seem to think they had a voice in a Liberal-dominated culture until Trump was put …

Pain, Faith, and Sovereignty
Photo by Tabitha Mort This morning I felt a whisper in my spirit, that God is teaching the church about His sovereignty. Maybe He’s teaching the whole world. And the challenge is, the moment I say that, the offense begins. Are we childlike enough to sit and trust and love, in the midst of things …
