There is a kind of silence that heals. It is the silence we seek when the world has become too loud, too sharp, too demanding. It is the silence of breath and grounding, the quiet that helps us remember who we are beneath the noise of expectation and fear. I speak often about this kind … Continue reading When Silence Is Complicity
Most of us don’t reject rest outright. We postpone it. We tell ourselves we’ll rest after one more thing is done—after the list gets shorter, after life slows down, after we’ve earned it. Rest becomes conditional, something we imagine waiting patiently on the other side of our productivity. And yet, that “other side” never quite arrives. Busyness … Continue reading When You’re Too Busy to Rest
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about presence—what it really means to be present, and what it might mean when we find that we’re not. Over the past several weeks, life has been full. The end of the year, the beginning of a new one, gatherings, worship, conversations, responsibilities—good things, meaningful things. And yet, in … Continue reading When the Mind Wanders
The turning of the calendar invites reflection. We call it a “new year,” though nothing in the universe insists that January 1 marks a true beginning. The earth continues its steady journey around the sun, life unfolding in cycles far older and wiser than our calendars. And yet, this moment—this threshold—offers us a pause. A … Continue reading Becoming the Gift You Already Are
There are moments when life feels overwhelming—when the pace is too fast, the demands too many, and the sense of order we rely on slips through our fingers. These moments rarely arrive at a convenient time. They show up in the middle of busy schedules, unfinished projects, family tensions, or unexpected disruptions. And when they … Continue reading When Life Feels Out of Control
For many of us, the holiday season carries a blend of beauty and ache. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or another cherished tradition, this time of year has a way of stirring up a whole constellation of emotions—joy and grief, fullness and loneliness, celebration and exhaustion. Holidays are rarely just one thing. They arrive as … Continue reading When Holidays Are Tender
Episode 60 Reflections Hello, beloved. Today marks the 60th episode of the Infinitely Precious Podcast, and I find myself both grateful and humbled. It’s hard to believe that we’ve journeyed through sixty reflections together. A part of me wants to treat that number like some kind of achievement—an indicator of success, or longevity, or accomplishment. But … Continue reading Why You Are Infinitely Precious
As Thanksgiving arrives, many of us feel the familiar pull toward gratitude—toward naming blessings, gathering with loved ones, and pausing long enough to say thank you for the goodness in our lives. In certain seasons, that comes easily. Beauty rises to the surface. Life feels simple. Gratitude flows almost naturally. But there are other seasons—equally real, equally … Continue reading When Gratitude is Hard
We talk about love a lot on the Infinitely Precious Podcast—and I know I return to the theme often. But some experiences ask us to see love again, to feel it more deeply, to remember that it is far more than sentiment or emotion. Recently, I had one of those moments. Almost two weeks ago, I … Continue reading Love, the Fabric of the Universe
Each year, as the seasons turn and October gives way to November, we come upon a day in the Christian calendar that holds a special tenderness for me — All Saints Day. It’s a day of remembrance and gratitude, when we honor those who have come before us: the ones whose lives shaped our faith, our … Continue reading Remembering the Saints
