Dedication or an addiction?

Dedication or an addiction?

Are you dedicated to your craft or consumed by addiction?   I’m just starting to realize that what a lot of people call their “career” “passion” or “desire” can often times be an unknown addiction in their heart, but no one seems to see it that way.

Insecurity and the Other Sex

Insecurity and the Other Sex

I’m sitting in my dorm room catching up on the latest buzz on the Heart Support website. It’s always encouraging reading the blogs, but after Ben Sledge’s The Things We Carry blog I felt a heaviness on my heart to write about something.

Masculinity: Part 2

Masculinity: Part 2

This Isn’t Normal…..But On Meth It Is!

This Isn’t Normal…..But On Meth It Is!

Are You A Pharisee? Probably.

Are You A Pharisee? Probably.

I deeply wounded a Heartsupport reader recently. The two of us had begun a conversation on faith, sexuality, life, and God.  He (we’ll call him *Alex as he’s asked me to protect his identity), had said a few things I disagreed with and in return I sent him an email challenging his faith, his relationship [...]
