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.

music review: rain’s a comin’ [@children183band]
I feel like I just clipped my jumper cables to my heart and punched the gas! Or maybe it was the nitrous-oxide that I poured on my Wheaties. Whatever it is, listening to the latest album from Children 18:3 just got me all jacked up... I know it's not for everyone,...
