I’m a huge list person. I’m a big APPLICATION person. If any of you have done my devotionals, you know I’m huge on practical lists of applications to biblical passages. Now, this is great and all . . . but sometimes I can be too practical. When I get to lists like the Beatitudes or …
BOOK CLUB: adventures in saying yes
Hi everyone and welcome to the February OBO Book Club. This year we have a new project wherein our writers tackle one nonfiction book each month and provide a review at the end of the read. I’m Lisa from Inkwell and I’m kicking off February with a pre-read post for Adventures in Saying Yes by …
no. 10 / what coveting says to God
This is a part of the Command blog series where we’re talking about how the Ten Commandments aren’t just a dusty set of tablets with dumb rules . . . by a long shot! I can’t believe this series is almost over! With this tenth command, that means we started this series ten weeks ago. I’ve …
what love is: 1 cor 13 series
I am not a fan of cliches. In fact, they give me the heebie-jeebies (as did spelling heebie-jeebies). So, when people start pulling out 1 Corinthians 13 around Valentine’s Day my sinful flesh does an internal (yet sassy) eye roll. P.S. Don’t forget to watch our epic trailer video for this issue! But! I am …
no. 9 / lies young women tell
This is a part of the Command blog series where we’re talking about how the Ten Commandments aren’t just a dusty set of tablets with dumb rules . . . by a long shot!

My teacher said something that really got me started thinking: “There’s no one way of conducting psychotherapy that works for everyone, everywhere. If there were, all the psychologists would be using it and no one would …
no. 8 | we steal & don’t even know it
This is a part of the Command blog series where we’re talking about how the Ten Commandments aren’t just a dusty set of tablets with dumb rules . . . by a long shot! Google definition of steal: To take (another person’s property) without permission or legal right without intending to return it. I remember picking …
no. 7 | how single people commit adultery
This is a part of the Command blog series where we’re talking about how the Ten Commandments aren’t just a dusty set of tablets with dumb rules . . . by a long shot! It was absolutely perfect. As the bride and groom stood underneath the pristine, white tent in the warmth of an ethereal summer …
being known: a book about letting go of the past
Perhaps you guys remember my review of Robin Jones Gunn’s Becoming Us. I have a soft spot for Robin’s books because they helped steer me in the right direction during my teen years and help me see the practical side of Christianity. So I was THRILLED when my dad threw an envelope my direction and …
no. 6 | dislike 👎🏼
This is a part of the Command blog series where we’re talking about how the Ten Commandments aren’t just a dusty set of tablets with dumb rules . . . by a long shot! P.S. Don’t forget to read our newly released, FREE devotional “Still”! We all thought we’d be good on the “Thou shalt not murder” …
