Is Depression a Sin? (3 Examples of Depression in the Bible)

In: Mental Health on: June 21, 2021

Christians and Depression Too often, those in the Church are quick to call depression and other mental illnesses a sin, calling the sick to repent and return to God. It breaks my heart to see this response because there is no other type of illness where this would be acceptable. Never in a million …

We Did More Than Survive

In: Building Hope, Family on: January 10, 2015

Seventeen years. Seventeen. Years. I repeated the words slowly to myself today in Starbucks as I considered our anniversary (insert pithy comment about a typical male not being home on his anniversary here). Three thoughts come to mind when I ponder the last seventeen years with my wife: Boy have we …

We Are Not Okay Even When We Say We Are Great

In: Community on: April 17, 2014

“How are you doing?” “I’m good, great actually. How about you?” “No complaints!” This is the most repeated lie in the world today. The truth is much more complex. Maybe one person in this conversation is struggling with depression and wondering if it will cost them a job. Perhaps the other …

Broken Hallelujahs

In: Building Hope, Faith on: March 20, 2014

Confession time: I don’t like most Christian music. I find it trite and disconnected from the challenges of daily life, as if we are not allowed to acknowledge struggles in our songs. I believe it is a symptom of the biggest lie we tell as Christians –we are all okay, all the time. Every once in …

Saturday Musings: The Burdens of Peace

In: Building Hope, Faith on: November 9, 2013

Some days, peace can be hard to find. On the days and weeks where circumstances seem to not just come at us, but vehemently attack us. It almost seems absurd to seek after a peaceful heart in these seasons. And yet, this is when we most need peace. After all, Jesus called the weary to share yokes …

How Climbing Cliffs is Nothing Like Forgiveness

In: Building Hope on: June 9, 2013

I grunted as I pulled myself further up the cliff. I reached up for my next handhold, but the rock loosened and I lost my grip. I felt my other hand sweating and slipping away, and I started to panic. I intentionally slowed my breathing and my body. With forced calm, I reached to my side and …

What do Dori from Finding Nemo, Abraham Lincoln, and Jesus all have in common?

Not Always Hope, Not Never Hope, But Sometimes Hope

In: Faith, What's Normal?, Writing on: February 11, 2013

I have had a few people ask me why the name of this blog is Sometimes Hope. “If we are called to trust God all the time,” the question starts, “why isn’t your title Always Hope or maybe Keeping the Hope?” I even struggled with this a bit myself. After some thought, here are three reasons I can only …
