Sadly, because most men are taught from an early age that "real men don't cry" and while boys will grow and mature and become strong, men have also lost the skill of how to process THROUGH their emotions. Instead they have just learned "coping" behaviors that numb their feelings so they don't need to experience [...]

Was it Really “Church Hurt”?
The term "church hurt" is all too common today to describe how people have been wronged. ***Disclaimer- if you were abused by people who were an authority you were once submitted to, I do not discredit your pain one bit. People in authority in ANY organization must be held accountable for their actions. And sadly, [...]
What if it all makes perfect sense?
What if all of it makes perfect sense? A couple of phrases that I teach my clients that have helped me so much over the years are “It makes perfect sense” & “Of course I’m feeling ______.” Things in life rarely go as we’ve planned. Especially when it depends upon other people. But what if [...]
Do You Have True Faith?
Sometimes we think if we are FEELING we aren't IN FAITH. But being IN FAITH doesn't require us to DENY OUR FEELINGS. Faith is what we BELIEVE. FEELINGS CHANGE. FEELINGS ARE FICKLE. FEELINGS ARE TEMPORARY. FAITH is a product of the heart, of the spirit. FEELINGS are a product of our natural make-up, our natural [...]
The question people ask that always causes my heart pain…
Many think to “take your thoughts captive” means to NOT think about it. But to take your thoughts captive means to captivate your eyes to it and to spend time comparing it with the Word and then toss it out if it doesn’t line up! Captive means "to hold or to secure" for a moment. [...]
Did You Know You Can Take Holy Communion At Home?
The power of Holy Communion is not in where we receive it, but in remembering what Jesus' sacrifice made available to us. Jesus used what He had in front of Him to institute the Holy Communion, bread and wine, but you can use what you have available today, possibly juice and a cracker, or something [...]

Sunday’s Coming!
I don't know what you're dealing with today, but I know God is working behind the scenes. It's always the darkest right before the dawn! God is rarely early, never late, and always on time! He is not a man who could lie. His Word is His will, and it WILL COME TO PASS! Get [...]
Were We Wronged or Righted?
When someone wrongs us, have we been wronged? Or can we dig a little deeper and see how we have actually been "righted"? 1 Cor. 4,5 teaches that "Love, (the God kind of love that now resides inside of us) *parentheses mine* is longsuffering and kind (wow, that's a challenge to still be kind while [...]
Jesus Had Come to Defeat an Enemy, Just Not the One They Had in Mind
Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy, and showing His agreement to Kingship. The crowds shouted "Hosanna!" in response, which is translated to mean "Praise God!" "Save us!" or "Deliver us!" While the Israelites assumed Jesus would be an insurrectionist who would overthrow the power of Roman rule, they did not understand the [...]
