Welcome!!



I have returned!! I haven't blogged in about 5 years, but I thought I'd do it again! I'm probably going to blog about random thoughts I have on faith, mental health, movies/tv shows, sports and other things that come to mind.

Fast forward to today and we face a similar culture where there is a growing amount of societal pressure for Christians to conform. In their fascinating book, Faith For Exiles (2019, Baker Books)- David Kinnaman and Mark Matlock provide ample research to show where the church (18-29 year olds) is at...
