Navigating conversations with friends and family has become increasingly difficult, and even the slightest disagreement can cause division and contention.    I’m sure it’s no surprise to you we’re in an election year.   But this year feels […]

The Only Way Is Through

The athletic wear company Under Armour started a major ad campaign this year with the message The Only Way Is Through. I love it.   So many people give up because the going gets hard.

True Comfort

I love things that are comfortable. I’m talking sweatpants, those huge two-person fleece blankets, and definitely not high heels. (TeenPact really helped solidify my opinion on this last one!) I also love the comfort of routine, the familiar sound of my favorite songs playing, and calling my mom when I’m out of town. Comfort is […]

Static

If you’re like me, you tend to pick up your smartphone without thinking about it. Whether you’re checking texts, social media notifications, or searching the web, your phone is always on you or close at hand.    Have you ever misplaced it or left it behind?

The Art of Biblical Hospitality

Hospitality. I’ve heard this word my whole life. It’s usually associated with Martha Stewart, Better Homes and Gardens, crockpots, vacuum cleaners, and, of course, good food. I can still remember the insane rush of activity that always followed when my mom announced that company was coming over. Bathrooms were cleaned, dirty dishes put away, and […]

Are You An Alien?

Men in Black, Star Trek, Star Wars, the list goes on. Aliens and Sci-fi have been a popular topic in pop-culture over the years, where people dream “to boldly go where no one has gone before.”   When we hear the term alien, we may picture a creature with green skin and antennae, who does […]

Entertainment: “It’s Not That Bad”

“TOOOOORRRYY HOLT!” I shouted, as my All-Pro wide receiver trotted into the end zone once again, much to my dad’s dismay. Madden 2002 was the peak of twelve-year-old Jackson’s video gaming career.  I smile to myself when I remember the hours of fun we had playing in the living room of our old house, playing […]

How God Equips Us For Life After High School

“What are your plans after High School?” While asked with kind intentions, this question causes anxiety and reminds us of all of the uncertainty of the future.    I struggled for several years to discover my “passions,” but I really had no clue what that even meant. I became frustrated when people asked me what […]

A Decade in Review

Do you remember where you were 10 years ago? I remember where I was, and my life was about to change…   A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE I was living in Connecticut, working for an insurance company and anticipating serving as a TeenPact Class Director that spring.
