An Open Letter to The Depressed Christian

As a licensed counselor, it breaks my heart to hear the myths and lies that Christians believe about depression and mental illness in general, and the shame that can be felt surrounding this topic. I’m so sorry if you’ve experienced it. Sadly (and especially if you run in Christian circles) there’s a good chance you have.

The Art of Self Discovery Post Break Up

Post break up, there is a season for mourning. A season for rest. A season to heal. And then there’s a season for self reflection and discovery.

Is Your Past Holding You Back?

Who you were then, impacts who you are today. What you experienced then, influences who you are today.

7 Ways to be A True Friend to Someone in Sin and Shame - healing & restoration

7 Ways to be A True Friend to Someone in Sin and Shame

Sin kills us! Resisting it yourself, and encouraging others to do the same, is a good idea and I would even say is a GOD idea! However, in a world that is driven by political correctness, it can be tempting to partner with this spirit and join in its polarizing effects by treating those in sin as if their behavior is “totally okay.” Or, on the other side of the coin, you may find yourself trying to create a culture of righteousness and in doing so shame the people that you love.
