This Easter season God doesn’t want you to just have Easter eggs and chocolate, although they are pretty great. He wants you to have a new and radical understanding of reality.

Is Your Lent Not Going As You Hoped For?
by Danielle Enriquez AMFT #128151 We are just a little over halfway through Lent of 2024. Where does the time go? It felt like yesterday that I was waking up early with my family to receive ashes. That being said, I can imagine that some of you are thriving in your Lenten promises – that is…
Broken God-Images
Take a second and ask yourself this question: what is God thinking about me right now? Maybe we get the sense that God loves us and is carrying for us, or maybe it feels like God is frustrated or disappointed with us. Maybe it feels like He is distant or just doesn’t care. Whether we…
Ready, Set…Rest
It’s a New Year. Ready, set…rest. Wait what? In the midst of resolutions and goals while living in a non-stop world we have to remember that we are made for rest.

Can’t Go Around…
Do you ever feel like your emotions just get in the way? Whether it’s anger at a parent, a panic attack at school, or hurt caused by a friend, our emotions can at times feel overwhelming and unnecessary. While our emotions are not only necessary, they are good and God-given. God has given us the…
Don’t Buy the Lie
To quote the great and late Mufasa, Simba, remember who you are. In the Lion King Simba believes the lie that he is responsible for his dad’s death. He runs away and forgets who he is. In life, it can be so easy to believe that we are defined by grades, sports, social media, or…
