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.

It's one of the most difficult things that any of will likely ever have to do as a parent...  the dreaded 'sex talk'. I don't think that my parents ever actually gave me one. As a result, I learned most of what I know about sex from friends, TV, and umm... magazines....

@theideacamp slavery week wrap-up [#ICSEX]

Most people don't like to think about this sort of thing. And those that are confronted with it are usually outraged, but often don't know what they can do to help. The truth is that human trafficking and sex slavery is probably happening within a couple of miles of...

[the #haiti diaries] chanler’s poem

There were many testimonies to share when our team returned from Haiti. What I love to see is the creative ways that various people find to express themselves. Some through their photography, others through writing/blogging their stories, and still others through...

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...
