A “reverse selfie” might sound like just another cute phrase floating around the internet, but it actually points to something serious happening in the hearts and minds of a lot of young people today. At its core, it opens a door for Christians to talk about truth, identity, and where real worth comes from. What [...]
The pornification of America is no longer happening at the edges of culture; it sits right in the middle of everyday life. Sexualized images, innuendo, and explicit content have moved from the “adult section” into our ads, our music, our movies, our shows, and our social media feeds. Instead of treating sex as a sacred [...]
The dollification of girls is more than a passing fad or a few questionable toys. It is a cultural pattern that slowly trains girls to see themselves as decorative objects instead of growing, thinking, image-bearing human beings loved by God. It touches toys, media, fashion, and especially social media—and it shapes how a girl understands [...]
The high conflict personality is not just someone who “has a temper” or enjoys a strong discussion now and then. It is a patterned way of thinking, feeling, and acting that repeatedly stirs up drama, increases tension, and damages relationships over time. People with high conflict traits often leave behind a trail of broken friendships, [...]
There is a kind of disappearing that doesn’t involve leaving the room. You still sit at the table, you still show up at work, you still attend church, but inside you are slowly stepping back.

His wife may sit across from him at the dinner table and still feel like she is miles away. He’s not cruel, not reckless, not openly abusive. He’s [...]
Most men carry private struggles they seldom voice. They may appear confident, calm, and even spiritually strong, yet beneath that steady exterior lies a story—one marked by unspoken fear, temptation, or pain. These secrets shape how men relate to others and to God. Understanding them opens the door to deeper compassion, stronger marriages, and authentic [...]
“Don’t settle.” That phrase is everywhere in modern dating advice, especially for young women. Sometimes it’s healthy—it can mean, “Don’t marry someone who abuses you, disrespects you, or pulls you away from Christ.” But there’s a darker side that rarely gets talked about. The negative side of “not settling” is that it can quietly turn [...]
Romantic perfection is one of the quiet killers of Christian relationships today. It sounds noble—“I just want God’s best”—but underneath, it often means “I want a flawless person and a flawless love story.” It swaps a biblical view of love for a fantasy that no real-life man or woman can ever live up to.
