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.

[present perfect] bonus post: he is here by amena brown
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....
[present perfect] chapter 7: the father is always working
Years ago, I used to think God was found under the steeple, at the communion rail, and in the liturgy. And yes, of course, He is very much present in the church. But oh, let me never again forget that He is also very much present in me – common, ordinary me. Our...
[present perfect] chapter 6: being present
"No moment is trivial since each one contains a divine kingdom, and heavenly sustenance." - -J.P. de Caussade When flipping through Greg Boyd's book Present Perfect I was immediately drawn to the title of this chapter, Being Present. We live in a day where our...
@theideacamp porn week wrap-up [#ICSEX]
I don't know if I really knew what to expect when I agreed to lead a blogging series on sex for The Idea Camp. But I know that anytime you get a bunch of bloggers together to talk with a single focus, the result is usually something pretty special. This week was PORN...
