Can "brain rot" be biblical? (Find out inside --> πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸŽ“πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸŽ“)


Hail to the conquering graduates!

Reader,

Next week, my daughter graduates from high school. (How can it be?)

I wanted to mark this milestone by leaving her and the other 2026 graduates with some timeless wisdom from God's Word.

If you've heard teenagers talking lately, you might've thought you were hearing a foreign language.

You weren't going crazy.

It does sound like a foreign tongue sometimes, and it takes some context clues to figure out what they're saying.

What you heard was likely brain rot.

I wrote this piece for them, in a language I think they'll understand.

Hopefully, you moms, dads, grandmas, and grandpas out there will enjoy this as well.

My daughter said it's pretty dope. I hope you agree. πŸ˜‰

Have you ever seen someone else’s suffering and felt a visceral reaction to it, like a sucker punch to your gut? The suffering may not be your own, but it still hurts, and you want to help alleviate the pain. This is what the Bible calls compassion, and it literally means to co-suffer with someone. The compassion of Christ is not feeling sorry for someone in hard circumstances and moving on. Jesus’ compassion moves him to feel with us and act. Here's an article about the compassion of Jesus toward you!

Steps (ok...leaps) of faith Reader, I've recently had the privilege of sharing the story behind my book, The Pursuit of Holy Leisure, at a couple of women's events. I'm kinda an introvert, and standing in front of a crowd was something I never thought I'd do. But God made a way, and I said, "Yes!" In today's post, I'm sharing a brief summary and the full audio file for my talk, "The One Thing Necessary." I hope you'll listen and consider what your "one thing" is, and how the pursuit of holy...

A Diamond is Forever, but God is Faithful to a Thousand Generations

All the anticipation and excitement of forging a new life together seem to be bottled up in one life-changing question. "Will you marry me?" Obviously, this has been a BIG topic of conversation around my house lately, but it's also had me thinking about changing seasons and God's faithfulness through it all. Wherever you are today, I hope you'll find encouragement in the timeless truth I...

Beautiful Writing and the Pull Toward God

Have you been late in loving beauty? Reader, That might seem like an odd question, especially since our culture is obsessed with beauty. Beauty stops us, and sells us. But there's a world of difference between noticing beauty and seeing God in beauty. When Augustine connected his love of beauty to God, he proclaimed of his discovery, "Late have I loved you, Beauty so old and so new: late have I loved you." He had admired beauty his whole life, but he was late in truly seeing it. Once he...
