How to have a non-defensive Thanksgiving conversation with crazy uncle Carl.

How to have a non-defensive Thanksgiving conversation with crazy uncle Carl.

You know the feeling. You're sitting at the Thanksgiving table, the turkey's getting cold, and Uncle Carl just said that thing about politics... or religion... or your life choices. Your jaw tightens. Your stomach knots. Everyone around you catches their breath. Do you engage? Do you ignore him? Do you pretend to have a sudden and urgent need to visit the bathroom?

Prayer isn't for God. It's for you!

Prayer isn't for God. It's for you!

I’ll admit it. I feel guilty about my prayer life. I think “When was the last time I really prayed? I mean, really took time and intentionally spent it with God?” Surely if I just had a more intentional spiritual routine, I'd feel better about my relationship with God. Right!? And I’m a spiritual director, for crying out loud. I teach this stuff! I should know better. I should do better! Maybe you feel the same "I-should-pray-more" weight? Maybe you share the nagging belief that your happiness depends on your performance for God?

The Wrong Courtroom: Letting Jesus Determine My Identity.

The Wrong Courtroom: Letting Jesus Determine My Identity.

We’ve been exploring the pain of broken relationships here and on our podcast for the past few weeks. When someone I love won’t talk to me, or a friend avoids me, it hurts. Especially when they won’t tell me why!I’m usually a bit obsessive about it. What are they thinking about me? I feel like I’m a defendant in a courtroom. I run scenarios in my head, rehearsing exactly what I’ll say if I can get them to listen. Sometimes I can’t sleep, lying awake guessing at their accusations, planning my counter arguments, rehearsing my story, marshaling my evidence.

What on earth is God doing!?

In light of recent events, you are not alone if you feel unsettled and afraid. Things are crazy out there! What on earth is God doing? I mean like literally, what are you doing God, on the earth? ‘Cause from where I’m sitting it looks like you aren’t doing anything.
