God is near—even when He feels silent. Hey Reader, Have you ever been in a season where God just feels… absent? I’m in a time like that right now. Life’s been full of risks, transitions, and new places I didn’t plan for. And while I’ve followed God for years, even now—He doesn’t always feel close. Growing up, I didn’t know God. And even now as a believer, it’s not always easy to stay grounded. I find myself crying out: “God, where are You?”“What’s the plan?” Sometimes I’m afraid I’ll bring...

Even in my fear and questions, God is teaching me that faith doesn't have to be flawless-it just have to be real... Not every prayer has an answer yet, but I'm still writing them down. This week’s podcast was all about walking by faith—not sight—especially when anxiety takes over. But here’s the truth behind the mic, : I didn’t record it from a mountaintop of clarity. I wrote it while staring at a whole lot of unknowns. In my heart. In my marriage. In conversations that are tender and honest...

The Bible Isn’t Just a Book. It’s Where God Meets You. When I feel lonely—disconnected, unsure, or like I’m walking through something no one else fully understands—I go to the Bible, Reader. It’s become an anchor for my soul. In those quiet, aching moments, I ask: “Who in Scripture went through something like this?” “Did they cry out to God like I am now?” “Did He hear them… help them… meet them?” And every time, Reader—I find someone. Elijah under the broom tree. David hiding in a cave....

You don't need to do more. You need to repent from quiet rebellion. Hi Reader, There’s a quiet kind of pain that lives under the surface when you grow up in chaos. For me, it looked like early losses, constant moving, and more questions than answers. I come from a family with a lot going on—mental health struggles, grief, instability. And for years, I carried the ache without a name for it. I didn’t know I was lost. Not in the dramatic, prodigal-son kind of way. But in the quiet, disconnected...

Your emotions hold the key to your beliefs... You are safe to feel. You are safe to heal. Can I ask you something, Reader?When was the last time you let yourself feel—fully, without judgment?When was the last time you brought awareness to your emotions, your thoughts, your pain… and simply let it be?Recently, I made that choice. I chose not to fix, not to flee, but to stay present with myself—with God—in the middle of it all.Mother’s Day was especially hard this year. The ache of loss showed...

Sometimes trusting God feels like turning your back on what you were taught... I love God with my whole heart, Reader—and I love sharing my faith. But sometimes, stepping into that calling feels… complicated.Growing up, I watched my dad stay faithful to a job that didn’t bring him joy. He worked hard for a big electric company in Brussels, even though what he truly loved was history—especially the French Revolution. Our home was filled with books, but not freedom.Somewhere along the way,...

Disappointments feel personal. But they are not your identity... I’ve had my share of disappointments, Reader—dreams I thought were from God, plans I pursued with all my heart, only to see them collapse.And here’s what I’ve realized:What makes disappointment so heavy isn’t just the loss itself.It’s the meaning we attach to it.We tell ourselves things like:“I failed.”“I’m not good enough.”“Maybe I’ll never get it right.”Why? Because we’ve started to confuse our identity with our process.But...

"Losing my Life to Find it" (Matthew 16:25)—It's not just a Paradox This week’s episode stirred something deep in me, Reader.As I edited my conversation with Teacher and Evangelist, Gordon Ferguson, I found myself listening not just with my ears, but with my heart. [Listen to the full episode here.] We talked about aging, illness, and death—but not as punishments or things to fear. Rather, as invitations to live more fully, freely, and faithfully.Lately, I’ve felt God inviting me to let go of...

Comparison steals the moment. Love restores it. Lately , it’s felt like a bit of a roller coaster emotionally. Some days, I think maybe I just need to go back to therapy. And honestly? That might be true. I’m always working on myself—but I’m also learning to let God meet me right where I am. Because nothing is too much for Him. He doesn’t flinch at our emotions, our struggles, or even our confusion. In fact, He’s always guiding us—through it, not around it.Psalm 139 brings so much comfort to...
