Life, Choice, and Compassion. Can they all fit together? I honestly don’t know, but I’m trying to work it out. Abortion is one of the most emotionally charged issues of our time. As a Christian, I believe human life begins at conception. To me, every zygote, embryo, and fetus is not “potential life,” but life with potential. For that reason, I would never choose abortion for myself, and if a friend came to me considering it, I would offer love, prayer, and alternatives that a

The Bible is unlike any other sacred text: it roots God’s story in real history, tied to people, places, and events. For centuries, skeptics dismissed parts of Scripture as myth, but archaeology has consistently shown otherwise — uncovering evidence that aligns with the biblical record. I’ve always been fascinated by archaeology, especially when it proves the Bible right. Over the years, archaeologists have uncovered hundreds of sites, inscriptions, and artifacts connected to

What It Means to Be “In the Wilderness” There’s something sacred about the wilderness. Not just the physical kind—the dry deserts or empty plains—but the spiritual kind. Those seasons of life where you feel lost, weary, unseen, or unsure what God is doing. If you’ve ever felt like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling, like your blessings dried up, or like you’re wandering with no direction—you’ve been in the wilderness. But take heart. The wilderness is not a punishment.

If you’ve ever loved a pet deeply, you’ve probably wondered at some point: Will I see them again in heaven? It’s one of those tender questions where our hearts long for clarity, but the Bible gives us only glimpses. Over the past few years, I’ve been wrestling through this myself, asking not just what I hope for, but what Scripture and Christian tradition really say. This isn’t about trying to force an answer, but about seeking truth — with hope. And the more I study, the mor

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 Our world is aching. From war zones to hidden prisons, from famine to persecution — millions are suffering right now. But even when the pain feels too great to grasp, God still hears every cry. Last week, I felt led to pause and pray for five places where hearts are breaking and hope feels distant. I actually posted about this already on social media but totally forgot to hit “pu

I grew up Catholic — baptized as a baby, confirmed, had my first Holy Communion — the whole thing. But if I’m honest, I never really paid attention to the theology beyond the main parts: Jesus died for our sins, He rose from the dead, and faith in Him means salvation. It wasn’t until high school, when I became Protestant, that I started really asking deeper questions. One of those questions was about the Catholic practice of praying to Mary and the saints. Shouldn’t prayer be

Growing up Catholic and later becoming Protestant in high school, the question of whether we should pray to Mary or the saints — or only to Jesus — is something I used to often wonder about. It’s not something I bring up to cause division or negativity, but because I believe it’s worth thoughtful discussion. My hope in writing this is to look honestly at what the Bible says, how history shaped this practice, and how different traditions understand it. To answer this fairly, i

I love the Church. I love the people, the worship, the sense of belonging that comes from gathering with other believers who share the same faith and passion for Jesus. But something’s been tugging at my heart, again — and honestly, it’s hard to ignore. I know so many Christians who are deeply involved in church life — serving, leading, attending Bible studies, volunteering, showing up every Sunday — and yet, their entire circle consists of other Christians. They’re surrounde
