The Necessity of Suffering

3/6/2020
Is it possible to entirely eliminate suffering from your life? And even if you could, what would your life ACTUALLY look like? We tend to think that finding happiness or peace within our lives requires the elimination suffering. But if there were no bad day, how could we know and appreciate the good days? Suffering isn't simply a byproduct of bad decisions, it is a necessity in life. Unfortunately, you will suffer. But if you can find the tools to help you properly deal with that pain, only...

Perfection is Cancelled

2/7/2020
"Cancel culture" has come to represent a lot of things. For some, it's a necessity in order to remove from positions of influence and power, people who are toxic. But for others, it almost feels like no one is safe. Everyone's past has transgressions, and should we be held to the fire for who we used to be or is it more important to focus on the growth and change of who we are becoming? If we hold one another to the standard of perfection, we have no other option but to fail. So let's cancel...

We've created a show to explore that, and help discuss how important compassion and patience are for everyone you interact with in your day to day. Give it a follow...

How You Become a Failure

7/15/2019
How exactly does someone become a failure? Separate from quitting, becoming a "failure" actually comes from taking shortcuts and taking advantage of others in an effort to benefit the self.

God is Love, A Thanksgiving Reflection

11/19/2018
I was 15 years old when I lost my mother. But despite the long, difficult road loss always proves to be, there can be light at the end of the tunnel. If "everything happens for a reason" or "God has a plan", why do those reasons and that plan have to hurt us? Perhaps, when we view it from a new perspective, they don't have to.

Say "I Give Up" Out Loud

How much is too much to take? Sometimes life can feel so heavy all we want to do is quit. But oftentimes admitting defeat is the very thing that may save us.
