When Your Struggles Start to Feel Like You

by

Are you struggling with something right now?

Maybe you’re anxious about something at work. Maybe you and your spouse have been fighting more than you used to. Maybe one of your kids is having a hard time, and it’s wearing you down. Maybe you’ve lost someone, or you just feel disconnected from people in a way you can’t shake.

Whatever it is, here’s what I notice in my office. When we struggle long enough, the struggle starts to feel like us.

How To Get Out Of Fight Or Flight When You Are Stuck

by

Most days, somewhere in the middle of everything, I hit a moment of panic. Not the debilitating kind. It’s more of a “what am I going to do” panic, and when it shows up, part of me wants to check out and go find something fun instead. There’s a real pull to drive home and get back in bed, or just go for a drive and get away from all of it.

Have you ever felt that? Or maybe it runs the other direction for you. Maybe you feel an intense urge to fix the thing right now, so strong it makes you dive in hard and get aggressive about it.

Where Was God in My Trauma? Finding Faith When the Pain Doesn’t Make Sense

by

Trauma doesn’t just wound the body or mind. It can rattle the very foundations of what we believe. Many survivors quietly carry spiritual confusion right alongside their emotional pain. Some walk away from faith entirely. If that’s where you are, I’m not here to lecture you. I’m here to sit with you in it. And when you are ready, I will help you try to make sense of the pain and confusion so that you can get back to enjoying your life and living it well. 

Why I Am Giving Up Social Media: A tool to heal the mind, soul, and relationships.

Giving up phone and putting it in a box to help improve relationships and marriage.

Over the past few months, I’ve been paying closer attention to my digital life and how I spend my time. What I’ve found is that certain platforms are consuming my energy and attention, but not giving much in return. They haven’t led to meaningful results, deeper creativity, or healthier relationships.

New Year, New Hope: Goal Setting for a Stronger Marriage

New Year, New Hope: Goal Setting for a Stronger Marriage

January is a perfect time to reflect on the past year and reassess your goals for the year ahead as a couple. Some years are filled with joy and ease, while others require persistence and growth through challenges. Regardless of the season, as Christians, we have the ability to overcome habits and actions that no longer serve us and embrace new behaviors that lead to a flourishing relationship.

Strengthen Yourself: The Power of Community

by
The Power of Community

As human beings, we’re naturally drawn to connect with others. We crave relationships that bring us joy, support, and strength. But while connection can be fulfilling, it can also expose us to misunderstandings and moments of hurt. Life often presents us with difficult moments when we feel isolated and vulnerable, and it’s in these times that the power of community can step in, providing us with comfort, understanding, and a safe space to begin the healing process.

What We Learned From Hurricane Helene: A reminder of how fragile and important life really is

by
Hurricane Helene. What we learned. Hurricane clouds. How to deal with stress.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, many are still grappling with its impact. Sadly, it’s often only after we lose something that we realize how fortunate we are. Millions lost power, and many in rural areas were left without water because they relied on electric wells. Gas became scarce as stations lost power, and food spoiled quickly with refrigerators and freezers out of commission. Only the most prepared among us escaped with minimal impact. Who would have thought a chainsaw would be an essential item for preparedness? We may not be laughing at those “preppers” anymore.

The other evening I finally had the chance to go see Inside Out 2, which recently came out in movie theaters. It has been on my to-watch list since I saw its previews. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the first one (Inside Out). I was blown away after watching the second one! After the credits rolled I looked over to my husband and told him we needed to talk about this movie in the car because of how much they did well.
