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.

the shirt [that says it all]

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...

o me of little faith [the vlog project]
Have you ever doubted God? I know. That's a loaded question, right? I know that I can say that I've struggled from time to time with my doubts. And if you're completely honest about it, then you probably have at some point in your walk with Christ too. Most of us have...
