For the sake of clarity and transparency, I would like to note that I haven’t listened to every single episode…

The Cross and Cancel Culture
Last week a friend informed me of the current trend in which individuals are being “canceled” on social media. Since I’m no longer in my twenties I had to ask for clarification of the term. I learned that it is the public rejection of an individual on social media based on their liking, posting, or…
A Word on Hebrews 10:25
As of late, I’ve seen many American Christians take to social media to express their discontent with how the government, locally and nationally, is responding to the Coronavirus pandemic. I’ve found it quite interesting and very disheartening that many American Christians are quick to slap Bible verses on their actions during this time as if…
A Christian Response to the Coronavirus
Earlier this week I rolled my eyes as my husband said, “I think we should be aware of what’s going on with the coronavirus.” His desire to be informed was the result of watching the news while waiting for his truck to receive new tires. My eye roll was the result of hearing many claims…

Texas, Tears and Timing
This may come as a surprise to many, but I dearly long to return to life in the Lone Star State. While getting married, moving halfway across the country 6 days later and then getting pregnant 3 months later was, to put it frankly, chaos, I deeply cherish the time my husband, daughter and I…
