Draw A Fine Line With A Steady Hand: Navigating the Mingled Waters of Beauty, Captivation, and Objectification
Women are more liberated now than they have ever been before, but yet, there is one oppressor that women struggle to get unshackled from - beauty. God created beauty, our desire to see beautiful things, and a woman's desire to be considered beautiful. Society's perspective on a woman's physical...

Living Unhealed
God created an original product that is you; however, life can wound and bruise our hearts and souls.

Judgment 101 - When Our Isms and Skisms Go Too Far

The Power of Surrender
The word surrender usually does not evoke feelings of power. The thought of throwing up the white flag just can stir up thoughts of fear and anxiety. I have always heard this joke in church that the thought of surrendering to God’s plans for our lives, for some people, is met with apprehension...
