What is Discernment?
Discernment is critical in the modern age of information, misinformation and downright deception. We have to discern fact from fiction in the News, true from false when it comes to natural health claims, and even real from fake when it comes to buying products! One of the best tools for discerning is to WAIT. Press pause before making an emotional decision. Learn to exercise impulse control, and start being a skeptic. Do the research, read the reviews, and most importantly ask God for wisdom in your decisions. Scripture says if you ask for Wisdom, He will give it to you in abundance.
Sunlight Therapy: A Modern Look at Ancient Healing
God’s design for life is always the best medicine! This book, The Healing Powers of the Sun by Richard Hobday, PhD, is an excellent exposé on the historical studies that prove the health benefits of sunlight, the architectural practice of inviting sunlight deep into the interiors of healing spaces, and the importance of implementing sun therapy to ward off diseases such as cancer. This book turns western medicine on its head and exposes the lies we’ve been sold in modern culture. Humans have a fundamental, biological requirement for sunlight to maintain or regain health.
When is it OK to Quit?
There are times in life when we really need to give ourselves permission to QUIT. And I don’t mean quitting the bad habits- I mean quitting the good ones… or at least our perception of good. My journey of chasing a career in sales led me to one of the biggest downward spirals of my life- self defeat, discouragement and worst of all, lack of faith in God. As it turns out,I was pursuing a career that God never designed me for- once I figured that out, my whole world turned from black to color again.
Let Them (part 2)… Dark Muse
Have you ever been eaten up inside by imposter syndrome- except the imposter is a newcomer to your industry who achieves unmerited success without any talent? We all know it’s not the hardest worker who gets attention but the loudest one on social media, and that’s enough to drive any professional a little cray-cray. Part 2 of my takeaways from Mel Robbins book LET THEM. We should use these imposters as our personal DARK MUSE- someone whose mere existence aggravates us into greatness! Discontentedness can propel you forward if you harness the negative energy for good.
Let Them (Part 1)
I had to dive in to the highly acclaimed book of 2025 by Mel Robbins. It wasn’t earth shattering but it wasn’t a yawn-fest either. I appreciate her blunt style and hard-hitting truths. People are judgmental, they think mean thoughts and say mean things and that’s THEIR PROBLEM. We need to let it go and just focus on being the best version of ourselves we can muster. Worrying what other people think of us drains our energy and stops us from moving forward in life.
Book Rebellion
Have you ever resisted reading a book so strongly that you felt a visceral reaction to even the idea of it? Of course you have! But here’s a difference between righteous repulsion- being disgusted by evil- and spiritual warfare.
Lessons From a Seed
Everything God wants us to understand about TRUTH, he programmed into Creation. No place can we better understand these spiritual lessons than in the garden. Here is where we touch the soil, plant the seeds, water them end watch excitedly for them to grow. Here also we must pull the weeds, destroy harmful insects and divert predators of all kinds or we won’t enjoy a harvest. When we are interacting in a real and intimate way with His Creation, we can better understand God’s perfect design for life.
