The Chronically ill Christian

Do you want to be made well?

We take a look at the healing of the man laying by the pool that encounters Jesus. So many times this man is demonized and made out to be the bad guy by preachers and pastors but I never read it that way. Let’s talk about it.

The Other Side of Gratitude

We're transitioning into fall, which means darker days and fall allergies! A downer for those of us with SAD and MCAS. On a positive note, we may enjoy beautiful, colorful leaves, leftover Halloween candy and pumpkin pie. Also, can we be grateful for things like divorce, the loss of a relationship or a job? Absolutely. Gratitude has many aspects to it. God knows us better than we know ourselves and knows why we think and feel the way we do. You can't "offend" God. Let's get into it...

Summer Check-in and Where Do Those Pesky Crosses Come from?

Have you heard God sends sickness and hardships to test us and make us stronger? Maybe even worse, that your illness is God "blessing" you? Not true. Let's get rid of this toxic thinking in our spirituality.

Happy Pride :)

It's pride month, a month in which we celebrate the diversity in the world and in all of creation.  Resources for LGBTQ+ Christians: https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/ [https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/] https://reformationproject.org/resources [https://reformationproject.org/] https://www.newwaysministry.org/ [https://www.newwaysministry.org/]

Being Grateful For The People Who Get Us

Take time to thank someone who was there for you, advocated for you, understood you and helped you navigate your illness. Often times, these people are answers to prayers.  (Sorry for all the text message dings in the background!)  *This episode is dedicated to my HS guidance counselor, Mrs. O'Connell. Thank you for always trying your best to help me survive HS and make it out alive. :)
