The Anatomy of Life: A Spiritual Perspective   1. Exposure What are the eyes, ears, and heart being exposed to? These are open channels through which life communicates with us. Sensations, energy, intentions, and information perceived through our senses act as gateways to the mind and heart. Auditory and visual environments affect mood, perception, spiritual receptivity, thought patterns, and emotional states. 2. Think The mind lingers on what the eyes, ears, and heart have b

When our efforts collapse beneath the weight of limitation, unforsaken security does not dwell within the unsubstantial constructs of self.     Our being continually works in opposition to the God-given purpose for which we were created. Any security rooted in self never reaches its fullness or effectiveness in fulfilling that purpose. This is because security grounded in oneself produces only fragile confidence that will eventually produce the feeling of defeat.   The feelin

Trauma leaves marks far deeper than the surface of our emotions. When a child endures neglect, abuse, or chronic stress, their developing brains and bodies adapt to survive. These survival mechanisms, necessary in the moment, often shape how they experience stress, process emotions, and form relationships well into adulthood.

Choosing clean produce is a way to honor both our bodies and God’s creation. EWG’s 2025 list shows that the Clean Fifteen have the lowest pesticide levels, while the Dirty Dozen are most contaminated. “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit?” (1 Cor. 6:19). As mindful stewards of our health, we are entrusted with the critical task of choosing wisely, eating clean, and protecting the temple God has given us. For items on the Dirty Dozen , it is best to

"Offense must be taken; it cannot be given. It must be taken to have power. It is a trap; a stumbling block designed to disrupt your life. Offense is a choice and is a barrier to peace and purpose." M. Bolden Offense is an external force; always present, always available. Its aim is to remove peace from the heart and plant seeds of resentment through insult. People will inevitably say or do things intended to offend. But we must remain alert. Pay close attention to those who
