How to Deal with Close Friends and Family You Disagree with Politically
I have never known a more polarized time. Many of us spend a great deal of time on social media. The algorithms show us the content that elicits the strongest emotional reaction from us- the ones we can’t just “keep scrolling” and pass by. The ones that tug at our hearts the most, and the …
Congratulations, you’ve made it to the end of September! Here are some cats. Hope you’re doing ok. Love,
Do You Feel Like a Unicorn Who Doesn’t “Fit In” in the US Evangelical Christian Community?
I want you to know that you aren’t alone. Some Christians are conservative in their personal beliefs and are liberal in their political beliefs. Some Christians are liberal in both their personal beliefs and their political beliefs. Some Christians are moderates. The body of Christ is big, and it is diverse. The problem is that …
Things You Will Find in Literally Every Single church of Christ

Dear members and leaders of St. Joseph on the …
Why Christian Purity Culture May Be Partially to Blame for the Tragic Atlanta Massage Parlor Shootings
I originally wrote this post on March 22, 2021. It has taken me some time to clearly envision the purpose of my writing, which is why I’m posting it now. My heart broke when I read about the shooting that happened this past Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia, which resulted in the death of eight people, …
The Conversation We Need To Be Having About Abortion
People tend to be in “life-or-death mode” about abortion. It’s either life-or-death needing to be ended, or life-or-death needing to be a protected right. We are in a gridlock over this issue in the United States. I would like to see our country be able to move forward in some sort of bipartisan way that …
