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.

here comes the [mail order] bride trafficking [#ICSEX]

I know that this one won't make me the most popular kid on the block. And I want to start by saying that not everyone who goes this route should be classified as having the same motives. However, the mail-order bride business is a big one where abuses can often be...

@theideacamp sexual orientation week wrap-up [#ICSEX]

Why did this week's blogging series have to be one of the most awkward that I've ever been a part of? Seriously... I was blown away by how much people opened up during weeks like PORN WEEK and ABUSE WEEK. But now it seems that we're talking about homosexuality, I know...
