Knowing how you learn best is one of the most helpful things you can learn about myself. It’s become clearer to me that I’m more of a visual learner than anything else. I easily consume and retain information visually: movies, diagrams, books...I tend to remember images more than I do sounds or activities. I prefer… Continue reading Learning Style Tests
Depression & Anxiety
"Depression and anxiety seek to knock off fruitfulness from our lives." A perspective around certain matters that has helped me gain better understanding of life experiences is that not everything "just happens." Those anxious/depressive thoughts that may come to my mind - they are not causeless. There's a force behind them. A personality. An enemy.… Continue reading Depression & Anxiety
Connect with Him
The reason why spending time with God is sometimes challenging is exactly of this point: your time with Him will revolutionize your life! Isn’t it interesting how you don’t struggle to do your daily 30 minute workout, or have that 1 hour daily conversation with bae, but when it comes to spending time with God,… Continue reading Connect with Him
Forgiven Much!
#MusingsFromDestinedToReign #JosephPrince I’d usually tell people that the reason why it’s sometimes difficult for us to forgive others is because we haven’t fully understood how much we’ve been forgiven, understood what truly happened at the cross. What I’m seeing now more clearly is because many of us don’t know or believe all our sins (past,… Continue reading Forgiven Much!
Pray. Always.
One way of developing your prayer life and involving God into the various areas of your life is to arrive for meetings early. Plan to arrive the venue some 15-20 early and spend some time either in the parking or washroom and talk to God about what you’d like to see take place at the… Continue reading Pray. Always.
I Forgive You…
I was thinking earlier today how sometimes we tell people in our lives, who’ve hurt or offended us, that we forgive them, more as a Christian duty and less as a deliberate action that affects our future interaction with the person. If you were to paraphrase what you mean when you tell someone you forgive… Continue reading I Forgive You…
The Love Spring for Relationships
Your dating relationship shouldn’t be your primary source of love. If that’s the case, it can be overburdening on the other person. If your dating relationship is the only place you go to for validation, acceptance, belonging..it’s dangerous. That’s too much weight on the other person. Approaching it that way causes us to come into… Continue reading The Love Spring for Relationships

For the past few days I’ve been listening to quite a number of podcasts that have featured researcher Brené Brown, and I’m at a point where I have a basic understanding of some of the concepts she speaks and writes about regarding vulnerability, shame and courage. It’s like with each following episode I can begin… Continue reading Insights from a Brené Brown Podcast Binge
Faith & The Easter Connection
Faith isn’t about moving God to do stuff; it’s about believing that He’s ALREADY done it! During Easter, and every other day of our lives, we celebrate what Jesus has already done for us: because He became sin for us, we’ve been made the righteousness of God in Him. Because He bore our sicknesses, we… Continue reading Faith & The Easter Connection
Jesus – at the CENTRE of it all.
A key lesson I’ve learned in relation to Bible Study is the importance of understanding the difference between the Old Covenant/Testament and the New Covenant. Without this understanding, reading the Bible can get quite confusing. On one side you see God acting in a particular way, and on the other side a different way, and… Continue reading Jesus – at the CENTRE of it all.
