Juggling Life 

The problem I often encounter is the overwhelming number of responsibilities I have, ranging from writing for the newspaper, delivering sermons, running websites, to balancing family time. The solution lies in several coping mechanisms that I've developed over time to manage this complex landscape. These include prioritizing tasks to identify what needs immediate attention; employing a well-structured scheduling system that utilizes both planners and digital assistants like Alexa; time-blocking to allocate specific periods for particular activities; taking short, rejuvenating breaks; delegating tasks where possible to free up time for specialized responsibilities; making non-negotiable time for family and personal reflection; and most importantly, granting myself the grace to make mistakes and learn from them. These strategies collectively serve as my roadmap for navigating through the often-stressful sea of endless tasks and commitments.

Media Influences on Society is an Exploration of Moral Well-Being

Media Influences on Society is an interdisciplinary exploration of Psychology, Spirituality, and Emotional Well-Being Our world is brimming with complexity; this blog post invites you to explore an interdisciplinary approach that blends psychology, spirituality, and media, helping you curate a personalized toolkit for emotional and moral well-being.  I find that the divergent realms of psychology, spirituality, and media each offer valuable but isolated insights into human behavior and emotional well-being. This fragmentation can be deeply problematic, creating a disjointed landscape that contributes to societal discord, emotional distress, and ethical confusion. The solution lies in an interdisciplinary approach that merges the wisdom from all three domains. By integrating psychological theories with spiritual insights and honest media, we can offer a more cohesive and comprehensive help for individuals navigating life's complexities. This unified perspective can potentially enhance individual well-being and, by extension, create a more balanced and ethically grounded society.

The Moral Landscape and the Role of Christian Writers: A Reflection on George Barna’s Eye-Opening Report in 2023

In a rapidly shifting cultural landscape, a recent 2023 report by George Barna from the Cultural Research Center highlights the decline of traditional moral values, indicating that a growing majority believe moral judgments are solely a human prerogative. At the same time, there's been a noticeable decrease in Christian-authored content that could offer a different perspective. This confluence suggests an urgent call to action for Christian writers: to produce thoughtful, relevant, and engaging content that not only reiterates the importance of traditional moral values but also reaches a broad audience, thereby influencing the ongoing discourse about the moral compass of society.
