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.

behind the numbers of sexual abuse [#ICSEX]

#ICSEX: [@theideacamp blogging series]
Authentic conversation about sex is one of the most needed elements in a healthy church today. The fact that people feel like they can't talk about certain struggles or issues only perpetuates the problem into bigger issues. I'm thankful that Charles Lee has given me...
dan king is a real dude [we are real guest post from cheryl smith]
I should have known that anyone who names his blog “BibleDude” (and has a twitter handle by the same name) would be a fun guy with a heart for God. It didn’t take me long to realize this truth. Dan and I first began interacting at the beginning of the year, as...

I've shared this video before. But if you've been following along with the group blogging project on Present Perfect by Greg Boyd, then you'll understand why I want to share it again. Throughout this project, one theme that keeps recurring is that... God. Is. Here....
