Welcome to My Journal!
UPDATE: I’ve moved my regular writing to Substack! This is now my archives.
Here on my blog, I love to write personal stories, truths I’m learning from studying Scripture, lessons I’ve learned from those wiser than me, and what God is teaching me through writing.
I’d for you sit back in your favourite chair while the little ones sleep or while you’re on break from work and read a bit of what I’m thinking on these days. Feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts of your own!
Renewing the Joy of Christian Reading
As believers, we may feel the pressure to only ever read Christian nonfiction. Yet God, in his grace, has provided more than just that: He’s provided fiction and poetry as well. Perhaps you feel weary and burnt out from all the Christian nonfiction you’ve been reading, and the joy of reading at all has dissipated. Based on my own journey, here’s how I renewed the joy of reading from all kinds of genres.
Why You Won’t Return Unchanged
You know Bilbo Baggins. After his long journey, he returns a different hobbit. We were made to do the same.
Consider Our Poetic and Storytelling God
Don’t buy the lie that you don’t have time for fiction and poetry and pleasure reading. Yes, biblical literacy is important. It’s valuable for Christians to spend time in theology books, commentaries, and Bible studies. However, we shouldn’t pit them against the beautiful and true writing found in novels and poems.
