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.

how to cure homosexuality?
What I'm about to share is something that turns my stomach. I'm not writing today to debate what's right or wrong about homosexuality. There are theologians who are way smarter than me who do a good enough job with keeping that discussion going. I don't want to talk...
@theideacamp gender week wrap-up [#ICSEX]
I'd first like to start with an apology. My mission trip to Haiti impaired my ability to keep up with certain aspects of this project more that I anticipated. Nonetheless, there were some incredible posts that came in! This week was GENDER WEEK, the third of the...
