Every day, we’re grateful for the freedoms that our military men and women protect. But on Veterans Day in particular, we pause as a nation to honor their service in a special way. Happy Veterans Day. Let’s make it a point not just to say “thank you,” but to truly show our appreciation. Whenever you see a…

  A recent survey by the American Bible Society paints a sobering picture: though the Bible remains one of the most familiar books in America, the depth of trust in its accuracy and relevance is slipping. The 2021 ABS/Barna Group research (reported by ABS) found that fewer than half of American adults held what the study…

Scrolling through X (formerly Twitter) can feel like walking through a storm of anger. The endless stream of posts filled with hate, outrage, and violence is overwhelming. Very little feels uplifting or encouraging anymore. It’s not just disheartening—it’s deeply concerning. Proverbs 10:12 says, “Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.” Sadly, that’s exactly what we’re witnessing.…

“Our child is 4 years old and doesn’t understand much about Halloween. My husband and I talked about it and decided we are not going to celebrate the holiday. Surprisingly, my friends are giving me a hard time about our decision. For many reasons, including some experiences in our lives that were dark, we don’t…

Whether it’s traffic, work stress, or that person who can’t seem to text back, venting gives us an instant sense of release and connection. But complaining may be doing far more harm than we…

It started as a simple comment. Sarah posted a photo celebrating her new job, and her old coworker, Lisa, left a snarky remark: “Guess brown-nosing finally paid off.” Within minutes, others jumped in—some defending Sarah, others piling on with sarcasm and memes. By the end of the day, a happy moment had turned sour. Sarah deleted her…

“I am frustrated. I’ve cut way back on eating and still not losing weight.” Does this sound familiar? Many people share this same struggle. While the basic principle of weight loss—eat less, move more—is true in theory, real-life weight loss is far more complex. Sometimes, the key isn’t about calories—it’s about your relationship with food.…

Megan was feeling anxious. If you asked her, she’d tell you this feeling wasn’t helping. She had to give a speech in front of her company—presenting her findings to the entire staff. Though she knew her material, the thought of standing at the podium, looking out at fifty of her coworkers, made her heart race…

Have you ever taken a personality test and found you don’t neatly fit into the introvert or extrovert categories? Maybe you identify as an “ambivert,” showing traits of both. We seem to love these assessments—they help us understand ourselves, even if not all are scientifically validated. Recently, psychiatrist Dr. Rami Kaminski introduced a new label—the “Otrovert.” Otroverts…
