Holy Rhythms for Hurting Hearts
Essays on Mental Health and Ancient Church Practices
Holy Rhythms for Hurting Hearts is a collection of deeply personal and pastoral essays exploring how ancient Christian practices can meet us in the middle of modern mental health struggles. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, or simply longing for peace in a chaotic world, this book offers a gentle invitation to find healing through sacred rhythms like prayer, Sabbath, liturgy, service, and more.
Written with honesty and hope, this book doesn’t offer quick fixes. Instead, it points to the beauty of slowing down, showing up, and rooting yourself in practices that have carried the Church through centuries of both suffering and joy.

[management by God] the marriage requirement
This one will be one of the more controversial topics that I write about, bar none. Here in the list of requirements for the "executive leader" is this one that says that you must be, "the husband of one wife." Many of you may be thinking, What in the world does that...

[management by God] such a lonely word
One thing that disgusts me these days is how comfortable people have become with lying. Watch an episode or two of Survivor, and you'll see that deception is not only accepted, but also expected! People frequently use deception to get ahead. Additionally, they hide...
[management by God] rally point
Remember the scene in Braveheart when Mel Gibson's character, William Wallace, was giving the freedom speech just before the big battle? I've often wondered what it takes to be such a leader. It would be really cool to be able to rally people the way that William...
[management by God] the source of wisdom
Do you ever wish you could always make the right decisions in every circumstance? Have you been in a situation where you wish that you could get a "do-over"? Making the right decisions isn't a luck or chance thing. It requires wisdom. I don't mean just head-knowledge....
#goodwork tour with @thehighcalling
It was the first time that most of us had ever seen each other in all three dimensions! It was a virtual team coming together in real-life. And Marcus had something pretty cool planned for us that was right up our alley! We hit the streets of downtown San Antonio in a...

management by God [the end of an era]
Is the Bible relevant in a secular workplace? That's the question that I was suddenly confronted with during a mentoring session by a VP with whom I worked closely. We were studying a book together, and I expressed that some of the principles didn't jive completely...
[management by God] being above reproach
I was watching one of the news channels recently, and I heard a report about how someone had gotten fired from their job after their employer had discovered that they were lying to them about calling in sick. Apparently, after this person called in sick, they went out...
[management by God] executive-leader qualifications
What is it that makes a leader? Some say that leaders are born that way. Others say that leaders can be made. So the key question is really about whether someone can come to possess the qualities that a leader should have. However, before anyone can determine whether...
[management by God] know your worth
Tightrope walking is the art of walking across a rope or wire usually suspended over great heights. This act requires incredible balance and focus, because with one slightly wrong move the walk could be over. Depending on the safety precautions taken, tightrope...
