Introduction to the Pray Every Day Podcast
I’m so excited to share my heart about this new podcast–Pray Every Day, where I walk you through the Bible, verse by verse, then spontaneously pray for you–connected to the devotional, Jesus Every Day (Scripture, prayer).

The Word that Stopped my Heart
A few weeks ago, I had lunch with a friend in the publishing industry. He’s a veteran of publishing, a few years my senior. We caught up. We talked shop. But then he asked me what he could pray for. “Pray for my discouragement in this industry,” I asked. (And he must’ve prayed like the […]

Bonnie Bolander
Bonnie Bolander is a dear woman who I had the privilege of meeting at one of my writing intensives. She has an infectious smile and a story that defies that smile. I don’t want to give away what you’ll hear, but it involves a painful parental story. [“Bonnie’s story is the kind that takes your […]

Why We Can’t Bury #ChurchToo
We love to live in a world we understand, where children are not preyed upon, where we can trust our leaders. We would rather pretend all is well than confront what is reality.

God welcomes your negative emotions
Yesterday I had the privilege of posting a devotion on Proverbs 31 about honesty with God. I shared about the time I hollered at Him after an ectopic pregnancy. Hundreds of comments poured in, and I read every one. Today as I responded to one of them, I realized something. I thought of some of […]
