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.

where you are [by jeremy horn]

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Ardent Records artist Jeremy Horn to talk to him about his faith, the work of the Holy Spirit, and his music. In addition to the standard interview, Jeremy performed one of his songs that he's planning for release on...

cultivate your heart [an interview with jeremy horn]

What does it mean to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit? Family man, musician/worship leader, and self-proclaimed high-tech redneck Jeremy Horn says it's about getting your heart in the right place to be sensitive to the leading of the Lord. Jeremy found himself...

the shirt [that says it all]

Let me start by saying that I've never been a huge fan of Christian 'witnessing shirts'. There just seems to be something about them that doesn't generate the kind of response that they're supposed to. I've even heard a story once about a zealous young Christian man...

book review: will jesus buy me a double-wide?

As I go about my days, I inevitably find myself in a parking lot, rounding the aisles one after another, hunting for a parking spot. Many times, all are taken; until, all of a sudden to the left or right there is an open spot! I park with joy, satisfied with how close...
