  • ​There is a specific kind of exhaustion that comes with being “unclean.” It isn’t just about the dirt or the sweat; it’s about the heavy, soul-deep degradation of being denied the basic tools of humanity. ​For many, a hot shower or a box of period supplies is a given. For me, during the years I… Read more

  • ​From the Wilderness to the Remnant ​Pull up a chair and take a sip. We need to talk about a story we think we know, but through a lens most are too afraid to use. We often discuss the twelve-year-old boy in the Temple (Luke 2) as a perfect Sunday school lesson. We focus on… Read more

  • The Ghost on the Sidewalk:

    When “Home” is a Disappearing Act ​There is a specific kind of silence that comes with a heavy snowfall on Christmas Eve. It’s a suffocating, frozen silence that feels like the world has turned its back on you. At thirteen years old, I wasn’t waiting for the magic of the morning. I was a ghost… Read more

  • ​Category: Hope in the Broken Places, Finding Purpose ​If you’re reading this, you might know what it means to feel like you were made for something bigger, yet find yourself walking through absolute emptiness. ​All my life, I carried that conviction, that promise of purpose.

  • ​If there’s one thing I’ve learned on this journey with God, it’s that sometimes the deepest feelings we have are also the most universal. So grab your mug, because today’s tea is about something real and raw: the profound feeling that you don’t belong anywhere, to anyone, not even to the people who saved you.… Read more

  • ​There are moments when the veil between our world and the Divine feels thin, and we are given a breathtaking glimpse of God’s signature written not just in the stars, but within the marrow of our own bones.
