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.

Commentary on Mark :: An Introduction

the name of God
Do you know your God by name? Do you understand the various names used to describe who God is, especially though the Old Testament? Well... you should. The names used to describe God are important to our understanding of who He is. I've been doing a little studying...
getting uncomfortable
I am a wreck right now. I cannot seem to get my mind off of something, and it is literally dominating my thoughts right now no matter how hard I try to get back to "normal." But I guess that there is no "normal" anymore... Let me explain. This weekend, the Young...
six non-important things
It has been a while since I was tagged with this meme by Marlo from Joyful Christian Wife, but I still wanted to respond in order to keep this thing going. I think that memes like this are an interesting way to get to know each other, so I am always happy to...

[bible evidence] bahr yusef
Recently while doing my devotions, I was reading through the record of Joseph and his time in Egypt. While reading this, I was wondering what other evidence there may be in history that may support some of this record. I've...
Music Review: Desperation Band, Everyone Overcome
If you like worship mucis with an edge, then this album is for you! Desperation Band has a great rock-anthem sound that creates an exciting atmosphere for worship. Starting with up-tempo songs like "Light of Salvation", "I Know", and "Taking Over Now" Desperation Band...
Human Relations – Agape Communication
In my studies to complete my degree in Church Ministries, I am currently completing a class on Human Relations. One of the big foundations of this course is the idea that the love is an important part of all human relationships, and the source of that love (agape) is...
