My 5 Reminders
There would be instances that we’ll look back in hindsight and think, “I wish I knew that sooner.” Both in life and in faith. It is a part of life. In fact, I think sometimes I learn the same lesson multiple times. Or perhaps, I should say I am reminded of the lesson. I like…

Perfection & Hypocrisy
Are Christians perfect? Are Christians hypocrites? The easy answer is, ‘no, Christians are not perfect.’ But hypocrisy? That’s a hard one to answer. I think the central core of Christianity should be one that is against hypocrisy, but we are still human and we still sin. Jesus even preached about being mindful not to fall…

Two Years, Big Impact
This week’s topic is the Life of Jesus, which is an exciting topic. I am especially excited to read Abbi and Katelyn’s thoughts.
