How Do We Do Devotionals Consistently?

Last week, I asked if doing devotionals is actually important. The answer was that it was not only important but also necessary to do devotionals every single morning. If you have not already read that you can do so here.

But how do we stay consistent? Consistency is something I struggle with whether that’s doing devotionals every day or posting on my blog every Saturday morning (that this post was posted on Sunday speaks to that).

Plus, what is a devotional even supposed to look like?

I talked to some adults who have done devotionals much longer than myself and asked what they do. Here’s what I found: Continue Reading...

Are Daily Devotions Really That Important?

For some teenagers, the practice of spending time in prayer and Bible study in the mornings- devotions- has been something they have been told to do since the earliest days they can remember. For others, it is a totally new concept. Regardless, the result is often the same because it seems like we often don’t have enough time in the morning to get ready for school, let alone read our Bibles. We are already getting too little sleep to afford waking up any earlier, right? Even when we do have time, we often don’t see the urgency in doing it. Continue Reading...

End of Blog Season

Next week will be the last post of the blog season of 15-16. I will be taking the month of August and potentially September off to get settled into school.

10 Things You Should Know about Shame

Shame is a tough thing to deal with. It’s a ‘feeling’ that seems to cling on to us in various ways throughout our lives. Shame is a problem. When dealing with a problem, it’s best to know as much possible as there is to learn about it. Unfortunately, shame is one of those problems that doesn’t seem to be talked about enough. Even when it is discussed, I, at least, am still left with questions. In this featured article, Heather Davis Nelson does a great job answering questions about shame such as “What is the difference between shame and guilt?” or “How does shame affect us?”. This article is a relatively short read, but one that I hope will answer questions that you may have about the topic of shame. I encourage you to share your thoughts in the comments. You can find the article Here. Continue Reading...

Withstanding the Pressure Series Intro

Being a teenager is tough regardless of what century or decade you live in. Being a teenager is a time of finding out who you are and what you want to do. Along with this comes pressure. Pressure comes in many forms and from many places; it could come from your parents, school, or peers. As teenagers, peer pressure in particular is a very common issue. Exploring what God wants you to do in life is hard enough as it is, now there is added strain coming from our fellow classmates and friends. This pressure can cause us to avoid doing the things we possibly love the most because we are too wrapped up in what others think. Fortunately, we aren’t the first people to deal with this problem.

7 Tips for a Better Reading Experience

This Summer, I have been making a focused effort to spend this time off from school in a productive way. A key component in doing so, as I mentioned in my Don’t Waste Your (Summer) Life post, is to read. An activity is usually more enjoyable if it’s easier and that’s the way it typically goes for reading, as well. My dad has had to do a LOT of reading through out his life with College, Seminary, and  just being a pastor so I look to him for advice. He wrote an article back in February on his blog and I would like to share it with you. He lists seven ways we can make reading better, faster and smarter by going into points such as removing distractions and ways to build speed. We are all going to have to read at some point so why not look for ways to make it easier? Check it out at davidcprice.com . Have any thoughts or suggestions? Let me know in the comments.
