Doubt, Gratitude, and the Courage to Sit Still
In relationships, we know this instinctively. Trust deepens not when someone has all the answers, but when they are willing to say, “I don’t know—and I’m still here.” Presence, not perfection, is what allows connection to endure.

When the Room Grows Still: A Theology of Recalibration and Renewal
Every spiritual journey eventually leads to a room that grows still.

The Quiet Table: Where the Divine Meets Us in the Ordinary

✝️ Lanterns in the Sick Ward: Seeing Beyond the Story

✝️ When Sympathy Becomes Survival
Because what if sympathy has quietly become a survival strategy?

Faith Without a Map: Why Silence Doesn’t Mean God Has Left You
There is a space we rarely talk about in church or spiritual circles.
It’s not revelation.

🕊️ Not Every Angel Wears White: Discernment as Devotion in an Age of False Prophets
