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 Gospel in Life: Grace Changes Everything, a DVD series by Timothy Keller is a must for some groups of individuals, but I would suggest passing over on it for other individuals. The content is great. I am not sure anyone in today’s churches are more qualified and...

[epistle of james] chapter 5
[serialposts]Read James 5 (NASB, ESV, MSG) I’m watching a line form in the foyer. My belly is swollen 8 months large over our third child. It’s the annual church camping trip sign-ups. The line is getting long as I watch the early birds select their campsites. If you...
women ministry leaders in the new testament
Usually when one considers gender leadership issues in the New Testament the first place to look is the well-known verses of Paul that seem to suggest that women should either be quiet in the church or that they should not hold any leadership positions over men....
book review: the faithful
In The Faithful, Reverend Jonathan Weyer meets the church, the paranormal, ritualistic murders and magic head on in a haunting, seductive thriller. The Faithful incorporates elements comparable to the religious intrigue of The Da Vinci Code and dark magic of Harry...

[epistle of james] chapter 4
[serialposts]Read James 4 (NASB, ESV, MSG) Like any good sermon, James starts out with a glowing introduction; terms like 'brothers,' 'dear brothers,' and 'dearly loved brothers,' dominate every line of thought for the first chapter. Further into the book, however,...

an #enchantment twitter party [with @thehighcalling and @guykawasaki]
There's no question about the influence that the former Chief Evangelist of Apple has had on our culture. And Guy Kawasaki continues to show all of us how we can change the world, or at least our own little piece of it. That's why I'm really excited to announce a...
i’m a killer too
I stand, leaned against the counter tops in the kitchen, and read my Bible as I wait for the coffee maker to emit that last large sputter signaling its finish. I slide my finger along the smooth edges of my Nook, as I read the beautiful poetry of David, in digital...

[epistle of james] chapter 3
[serialposts]Read James 3 (NASB, ESV, MSG) I open my Bible, the one with pages reading like a colorful map of my life these past five years. Its binding worn, its self-made tabs nearly unneeded after so much traveling to and fro through its precepts, His story. Ours....
in the practice of stopping
Why didn't they stop? I wondered that years ago when my world crumbled like old Roman architecture. Business meetings continued; church continued; chores wouldn't wait; and the world continued fast and furious, in a hurry, always late, and I wanted to throw up my...
