Why can nothing truly satisfy us? School started a couple weeks ago, and I’m in a biblical counseling class. 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 …
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” …
A couple weeks ago, I posted about my word for the year: still. I didn’t want to just choose a word for the year because, A.) I’m tired of making New Years Resolutions just because everyone else does and B.) I’m tired of feeling like I need to choose a word of the year because …
It can be really deflating to watch another person across the kitchen table diving into a sizzling cheese pizza. You sit there, eyes glazing over your own salad topped with—surprise—chicken, five strawberries, and a bit of olive oil (You checked your favorite dressing, only to realize it contains milk . . . why???
