  • Charlie’s Death Wasn’t Political – Here’s Why

    Charlie’s Death Wasn’t Political – Here’s Why

    Charlie Kirk was not shot because he was a Republican whom Democrats hated. Look essentially anywhere conservatives gather online right now, and that’s the message being spread: “those evil Democrats… this is their fault for calling us Nazis and racists for years.” To be fair, there is certainly a level…

  • Stepping Into The Void

    Stepping Into The Void

    Let me start out by making something clear – I wasn’t someone who followed Charlie Kirk closely. I’m choosey about who I let on my press the follow button on, and he hadn’t quite made the cut yet, but I always enjoyed his videos debating when the algorithm brought him…

  • Submission Isn’t About the Paycheck

    Submission Isn’t About the Paycheck

    A question I often hear from Christian women is: “How can I submit to my husband when I make more money than he does?” It’s an interesting question—because it assumes submission is tied to income. I understand how we get there: traditionally, the husband is seen as the provider, and…

  • Is Donald Trump the Next King David?

    Is Donald Trump the Next King David?

    Today Donald Trump will be sworn in as our 47th president. I am thankful that Donald Trump is being sworn in instead of Kamala Harris. I, along with millions of others, breathe a sigh of relief that we are not swearing in a President with an aggressive abortion and woke…

  • Praise and Prayer

    Praise and Prayer

    Lately, I’ve been thinking about having spiritual habits. By this, I mean having habits of saying, praying, and doing things in obedience to Scripture that point me toward Christ, remind me of truth, and verbally or physically puts myself in places of submission. I do not mean that we can…

  • Mission Statement

    Mission Statement

    This blog has transformed a lot since I started in 2020. From being a personal journal of sorts, to the place I processed coming out of legalism, to losing access to it entirely in 2023, it’s been a whirlwind for sure. As I’ve been taking my online presence more seriously,…

  • On Seeking Lonely Places

    Ask any introvert (ahem, yours truly) and we’ll tell you; being alone rocks! Give me my office, a Ludovico Eunaudi playlist, a good latte, my laptop, and I’m good to go! Could stay there for hours being “lonely” and come away smiling, with a sad sigh that I’m once again…

  • Was The United Healthcare Shooter Justified?

    Was The United Healthcare Shooter Justified?

    If you’ve been online at all recently, you’ve likely seen the posts. Posts glorifying, praising, or in general fan-girling out over how handsome a murderer is. This young man has been charged with the pre-meditated murder of Bryan Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare, an insurance company. He did this…

  • Walking in Freedom

    Walking in Freedom

    I have really enjoyed being with you all the past few weeks as we’ve discussed our sinful condition, and our savior who is victorious. I’m now really looking forward to this post, where we’ll be looking at all the ways that we can be tactical about our sin, and Lord-willing,…

  • Jesus and Temptation

    Jesus and Temptation

    So last week we looked at our sinful condition. We also looked at the pitfalls of relying on our own understanding when temptation arises, instead of going to the Lord and His word. We saw in scripture that we are sinful from the time of birth, our hearts/flesh/own understanding cannot…
