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 truth about Jehovah’s Witness, part 2
In my first article about the shaky foundation of the Jehovah's Witness belief system focused on the credibility, or lack thereof, of their Bible (the New World Translation). Basically we've identified how other modern translations used techniques and scholars in such...
the truth about Jehovah’s Witness, part 1
I have had a recent visitor to my home. It is someone that most people are familiar with. A Jehovah's Witness man and woman stopped by my house to deliver me a copy of Watchtower, and let me know that they would be happy to talk to me more about it. I looked at the...
Seven from ’07

welcome home
There are few places where the love of Christ can be experienced so warmly and genuinely than in a home group. There is just something about the fellowship and discipleship that occurs in the home as opposed other more impersonal atmospheres. In fact the power of God...
BibleDude’s Favorite Things
Not that I am a fan or anything, but I understand that Oprah Winfrey just did her annual "Oprah's Favorite Things" episode for 2007. Like I said, not that I am a fan of the show or anything, but I do like the concept. Oprah talks about her favorite things, and gives...
