In 12th grade, I played stump-the-camp-counselor. My counselor at a Christian camp said we could ask her ANY question, and I was feeling extra ornery. So, I asked her a question that’s probably been on your mind at least once: “Why did David get away with so much?” In his lifetime, David managed to Commit …
I get it! Instagram often makes me feel ill. Whether it’s from the onslaught of bad news, over-edited and perfect photos, or just false self-love doctrine, Instagram is becoming harder and harder to stay on. (You’re not the only one feeling this!) Here’s two things to do: 1. Ask yourself: What is the QUANTITY of …
Self care has been trending on social media for a while now. But I feel like, especially since the pandemic, this mindset has been embedded into the social media sphere even deeper. Messages of Romanticize your life Focus on yourself Say no to others You do you Create your perfect routine are rampant on social …
Have you ever stopped to notice that the Bible doesn’t give a specific beauty standard? Sure, it says that some women were beautiful . . . but it doesn’t say what color her hair was, what her size on a clothing rack was, or what features she did or didn’t have. The Bible seems a …

I had to ask myself this question . . . especially after I signed up for my fifth Instagram account. Yes, I kid you not! I only run 3 now (and I still rarely post on two of them) but I just love the concept of Instagram. I realized that as both a person and …
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” …
