What the Bible Says About Self-love

ByFern Horst May 20, 2019January 26, 2020

If you follow any of the current self-help influencers these days, you’ve likely come across the concept of self-love. And, if you’re anything like me, at least part of you has recoiled at the idea. It seems rather unChristian, for lack of a better term. After all, my godly parents and the many Sunday School…

How to Turn Criticism into Affirmation

ByFern Horst January 30, 2019February 19, 2020

No one escapes criticism. All of us have experienced the hurt — ranging from slightly offensive to soul-crushing — when someone says something negative about us.

Moving Past Failure to Freedom

ByFern Horst January 13, 2018February 19, 2020

Everyone fails. That reality should free us, but it doesn’t. We believe too many lies that keep us from moving past failure to freedom: We believe our failure is unredeemable. We believe failure defines us. We believe it is unforgivable. We believe others caused it. We believe we have to live in the defeat of…

7 Hard-earned Lessons in Letting Go

ByFern Horst January 6, 2018February 19, 2020

During the last six months or so the phrase “let go” kept cropping up everywhere in my life — in songs on the radio, in sermons, in inspirational writings, on social media — everywhere. It became so frequent and so obvious, I finally realized God was trying to tell me something about letting go. What that…
