Faith in Practice - reflections on what I am thinking through and exploring in life with Jesus
When Blessing Feels Impossible
In this reflection on 1 Peter 3:8–17, I explore why blessing those who hurt us feels so hard—and how Jesus shows us a different way to respond to injustice. I share why it’s still important to speak the truth in love, how the Psalms give us permission to bring our raw emotions to God, and a simple systems-theory practice for staying grounded when anxiety rises. Ultimately, it’s an invitation to trust God with what we can’t control and follow Jesus in the harder, deeper way of love and the teachings of the Bible.
When Something Ends: Meeting Change, Grief, and God With Honesty
When something ends — a role, a relationship, a season — it can leave us unmoored and quietly mourning. On this page, I invite you to meet change and grief with honesty, naming your loss before God, releasing what you can’t control, and listening for what He might be forming next. Here, you’ll find space for reflection, letting go, and spiritual growth.
Quiet Strength: A Reflection on 1 Peter 3:1–6
