February has flown by! I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite things I’ve been using, reading and loving this month! The Rise of ChristianityI am reading this for one of my Master of Divinity classes, and it has been, hands down, my favorite book of the semester. It’s a mixture […]
It was really special to celebrate the resurrection here while doing ministry, keeping at the forefront of my mind the beauty of the redemption and transformation we have in Christ. The hope and life we have in Christ is unmatched and unattainable through any other outlet or option we might find in this life. This […]

When, according to the American Psychological Association, “the nation is on the verge of a stress-induced public health crisis”, self-care is not a topic that can be afforded the luxury of mindless neglect. We feel the need to over-perform as a means […]
