A job title can change in one meeting. A relationship can end in one conversation. A social media audience can vanish in one algorithm update. If your self-worth depends on any of these, it sits on a...
Men do not speak life naturally. We casually employ the vocabulary of the grave to describe our appetite. A man says, "I am dying for a plate of chicken rice." A student makes an error and says, "I am...
Most of us have a room in the heart we'd rather keep closed.A place we don't want touched, named, or examined. David understood this too. He brought almost everything to God - his fears, anger, injust...

A psychiatric textbook and a Gospel say the same thing: live in the present moment. The difference is that the Gospel said it two thousand years earlier. Anxiety is not new. It is not a modern conditi...
