Psychology, Counseling and the Forgotten

I enrolled as a student at Trinity International University-Florida in 2008, during a time in which I struggled to know my purpose in this world. I was attending my third different college after graduating from high school in 2001, so my only goal was to finally graduate. I chose psychology as my major because I had enough credits to finish that program faster than anything else that was offered at the time.  Psychology and the Spirit During my very first class, I fell in love with the subject and the potential for a career in counseling after one of my […]

In Spirit and In Truth

Worship is an essential foundation to the Christian life; it binds the creation to the Creator.  Corporate worship is an abundant source of joy and encouragement, as believers gather to lift up their praise to God. However, once the church building is empty, many Christians find themselves silently struggling with the practice of personal worship.  Have you ever tried to use a spiritual band-aid to solve a problem that is beyond you? Maybe you’ve felt disconnected from God, so you’ve tried to “fix” it with a quick prayer for a change of heart and a joyful spirit. Or maybe you’ve […]

“In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

Lose the Bunny; Use the Eggs

The most significant holiday on the Christian calendar is once again upon us. This special day, however, is so clouded by cultural tradition, that many church attendees have forgotten what they are to celebrate. One woman went so far as to say to me, “I can’t possibly imagine getting up at the crack of dawn and coming to a sunrise service at a stadium, park or beach for an Easter service. I would not be able to get dressed up!” Generations of wearing the right clothes have worn down the meaning of Easter in the hearts of many. It is […]

From Faith the Size of a Mustard Seed

In my office I like to keep this small jar on display filled with mustard seeds. There are so many moments throughout the day where I catch myself looking over at that jar to see these tiny mustard seeds and I am instantly reminded, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” That verse, Matthew 17:20, is one we’ve all likely heard countless times, but when we keep it at the forefront of our minds and our […]
