I was barely a teenager the first time I considered Jesus as “the way, the truth, and the life.” With the road stretched out in front of me, the concept seemed true, but one for the grown-ups to wrestle with. In college, on the heels of a difficult breakup, I found myself facing a crossroads. […]
Welcome back!
It’s come to my attention that the subscription feature on my site stopped working some time ago.
