What Will They Think? – 33

The Gist: I’m grateful today for the scholarship of Liz Curtis Higgs on this particular proverb. How many of you have worried what other people think? Raise your hands. Ah, yes, I see you there. I certainly have struggled with this truth. Today’s podcast unpacks our worry about what others think and how to be […]

From my broken heart

Sometimes I wonder if brokenness can ever be complete? Because there are days when I feel like I can’t be broken any further, only to have another branch of me snap in two and fall to the earth. Do you relate? I remember what J. Scott Horrell shared with Patrick DeMuth and I after we […]

18 Questions to Ask When God Seems Far

Kerry Dee asks this question: Hi Mary. I have a question that really puzzles me. I am a Christian but somewhere along the way, I lost being comforted by my faith. I don’t have “the peace that passes all understanding” ever. Scripture doesn’t comfort me, nor prayer, nor anything. I am never relieved or encouraged […]

Take Heart You Who Minister – 32

The Gist: Ministry, no matter what form it takes, is difficult. I recently had the opportunity to pour into women who had various ministries. We were an eclectic bunch, but we shared a love for Jesus Christ and a desire to be authentic. This is the skeleton of a talk I gave to them where […]

Forgiving Friends – 31

The Gist: Choose friends wisely, friends who love Jesus over the long haul (12:26). Cautious means “spy out, examine.” Associate with wise friends and let go of foolish ones. This proverb (13:20) is a good one to pray over your children and loved ones who are being swayed by fools. Associate = continual, durative action, […]

Should I tell my story chronologically or in little bits?

Here’s a question from Shelly: I have been in counseling with the same person for the last 1 1/2 years. The basic gist of what happened to me as a child is known, but I haven’t told the story of it in any sort of timeline. It’s all been in pieces. At the beginning I […]

Angry at God?/30

The Gist: This week I’m addressing three more of your questions. Here they are: How can you let go so easily? Don’t I have the right to be angry? Wouldn’t we be kept from heaven if we hold on? It was a dumb question to ask to begin with. I apologize. I didn’t mean to […]
