Not caring about appearances is hard. Surrounded by perfect figures from Hollywood, I’m plagued by messages saying physical beauty is how you attract love.

A few months ago, my pastor friend invited me to a 12-session Bible study on the topic of evangelism. “Thanks, but no thanks,” was what I wanted to say.

Asking for help isn’t just a necessary evil; it’s actually what God intends for us. And if I need proof, all I have to do is look at Jesus’ life.

There are ways we can be wise, caring, and considerate, even in rejection.

Facing problems together is important for healthy relationships, and oftentimes doing so requires arguing.

The concept of true humility is tough for me to wrap my mind around. How does it come out naturally instead of as a performance?

The relationship between “Guardians of the Galaxy 2” sisters Gamora and Nebula is a picture of the value of sowing mercy.

Striving for excellence in everything I do has its benefits, but it also comes with its problems.
