    Star-Spangled Jesus by April Ajoy is the story of April’s own journey of separating her far right Christian nationalist beliefs from her faith in Jesus and embracing a life of faith inclusive of all. This book will challenge readers to examine the entanglement of faith and conservative politics in thoughtful,…

    This Is My Story, This Is My Song.

    “ For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.” – Ephesians 2:8-9 Living at Capital Mountain Christian Camp as six year old was like living in a fantasy world. The sprawling…

    It Was Never About The Fruit

    “Jesus presented another parable to them saying, ‘The kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. But when he was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went away. But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then…

    Jesus In A Sea of Plausibility

    My professor posted this video in the discussion thread of my Christian Worldview class and asked for our thoughts. It’s not theologically groundbreaking by any means, and the argument was just okay, but it did leave me with one big takeaway to consider: When it comes to the historical accuracy…

    April 9, 2024

    It’s obvious that the result spiritual abuse would be a mistrust of churches and leaders, but what about how we lose the ability to trust ourselves or God? My husband and I were recently talking about this, about giving all of ourselves to the Lord. Most people who experience spiritual…

    Pendulum Conundrum

    “Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of…

    The Life We Bury, by Allen Eskens, was one of the best murder mysteries I have read in a while. The characters were given fantastic development and hours of listening passed by in what felt like minutes. Well written with a great ending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchase on Amazon

    What a mind-bending, time-traveling, wild ride this novel was! Stephen King is not my favorite author, mostly because I don’t enjoy the horror genre, but this is actually not a horror story. I found it a little repetitive in parts, but was fully sucked into the story the entire time.…

    Book Review: The Scarlet Thread

    April 8, 2024

    Oh, Francine Rivers. How could the author of one of my favorite books, that brought freedom to so many women, write something to vehemently anti-woman that would seek to keep women in abusive marriages? The Scarlet Thread is saturated with the toxic relationship philosophy that says “If I just pray…
