What do we do with mental health talk?

A couple of months ago a pastor reached out to us at BetterDays asking some questions about psychotherapy in the life of the Church. It’s not the first time we’ve received an email like this. Many pastors regularly face the realities of mental health struggles among their congregation. Unfortunately, the world we find ourselves living […]

 

A Mother’s Refuge

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea.  Psalm 46:1, 2 Motherhood is stormy. Motherhood can feel like you are gardening—all alone. Sometimes you feel as if you can’t escape the […]

 

Biblical Living: Engaging the Word

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.”  Isaiah 40:8 (ESV) The Foundation of the Word How powerful is God’s word?  As we know in the first chapter of Genesis, everything we see and know was created by the spoken word of God. That’s pretty powerful. Definitely more […]

 

Biblical Living: Rest

The Violence of Busyness I’m tired. Have you ever said this before? That’s a rhetorical question. Of course you have. We all have. We get tired. We have limits. Sometimes we forget, but no matter how hard we try to ignore our finite capacities, we eventually crash.  I remember this moment so clearly and can […]

 

The Unseen Rule of Life

“So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”  2 Corinthians 4:18 In the middle of my front yard stands a large oak tree. Its branches twist and stretch across the entire yard. It’s weathered. It’s been trimmed and […]

 

A Life Worthy of Imitation

When I first took over the roll of Lead Pastor at Christ Church Kingwood with seventeen people and a handful of kids, I had grand ideas of preaching these people into faithfulness. I was convinced that all they needed was inspired, engaging sermons to spur them on to greater evangelism and service and hospitality. And […]

 

Pastor Appreciation Month

“I appreciate you.” Those are words we all love to hear. Especially from those we find ourselves exhausting our energy, time, and resources in an effort to care for. From those we’ve invested love and service towards. Starbucks cards. Homemade baked goods. Thank You notes. Getaways to air b&bs and date nights to fancy restaurants […]

 

100% of Pastors

Over the past several months of counseling and conversations with men and women in ministry, there is a very common theme that continues to surface, a particular statement that seems to be voiced in almost ever conversations…”I’m tired.” Aren’t we all? To not be tired in a season like this would almost be, un-human. Tired […]

 

Reflections on Psalm 126

Over the past few weeks, our world has seen particular violence and outcries to that violence. It’s a violence that has made us forget that there was even a pandemic and has reminded us vividly that our humanity and our world and our history is still broken and groaning for redemption. I know that all […]

 

For the Tired One

Wife. Mom. Sister. Daughter. Friend. Church Planter. Pastor’s Wife. Counselor. Teacher. Chef. Project Manager. Referee. This list of roles and responsibilities seems to have grown by quite a bit over the past few weeks. And before all of this, if I am honest, I was barely getting by with what I already had on my […]
