Whether we have feelings for a friend or not, it’s important to understand that our friendships with the opposite sex should have boundaries, not just physical, but also emotional.

Walking Into the Unknown

You are not lost. You are not without purpose. You have purpose. You are being led. He is leading you to where He’s called you to be—close to His heart.

Racism and The Church

In many ways, the church is a reflection of the environment around it. There are large communities of white Christians who honestly believe racism is an historical issue, not a current one. They don’t believe in systemic racism, and they explain away the stories of police brutality flippantly. Meanwhile, communities of color are living in fear and tremendous grief. We sit next to them in church, but we don’t serve them in their suffering.

What Losing DACA Taught Me About Jesus

This article isn’t about a point of view on the subject. It is about the lessons I learned during the week I grieved the loss of DACA that completely shifted my perspective.

Let's Talk About Mental Illness

Of course Jesus can and will take that way. But, HOW?! I can honestly tell you that you cannot tell a person suffering through mental illnesses that simple statement, because they need help, they need guidance, and they need to be see the love of God.

Truth, Love and the LGBTQ Community

We are an individualistic society. We worship safety and comfort. How much more Christ-like would it be

to step outside our comfort zones in our own communities and say YES to shopping at the mall,

YES to lunch, YES to Bible study. Just as Christ did when He saved us on the cross.

Battling Social Anxiety

You are not your anxieties, you are worthy, you are loved, you are beautiful, and you are brave. Step outside of your comfort zone and delight yourself in what the Lord has declared over your life.

Working in a Secular Industry

It may seem a little heavy handed to make such a big deal out of what may feel like something so little, but I think if we do not set ourselves apart in the smallest ways, how are we supposed to set ourselves apart in the big ones?

Racism in the Church

Jesus talks a lot about loving those that have different cultures, backgrounds and perspectives. The church should be the place where all of this is occurring, yet so often it is the place where we exclude ourselves the most.

Why I Think The Church Gets Immigration Wrong

The truth is that the word "criminal" should never be coupled with a specific race. Not Hispanic, not Black not Asian or White. Not any or all other races you can think of. We are all just people who want a chance at a good life and we too are children of and loved by God.
