Fill your life with LIGHT.

Fill your life with LIGHT.
It’s less about fighting the darkness than ushering in the light.
The darkness is real.
But overcoming it isn’t about reaching perfection or fighting for your life all the time. When you fight the darkness, your focus is on the darkness.
When you focus on the light, the darkness is driven back, because the darkness is weaker than the light.
I stopped running in circles, fighting the darkness with a broken sword. And now my life is filled with light.
Let me help you fill your life with light too. <3
First, music to boost your mood.
Music subconsciously shapes our brains.
I’ve discovered that I can’t listen to depressed music (even if it’s Christian!) without it dragging me down.
When God convicted me of this, I created a playlist to help me smile more and cry less.
And it works!
I want to share that exact playlist with you. Click this button right here, enter your email, and I will send you the Spotify and YouTube versions of this playlist so you can listen to it wherever you like.
Second, whimsical fiction
My book spreads light through hard truths and whimsical premises. Now available worldwide.
A mermaid outcast, a girl who can steal stars, and a high-schooler suddenly affected by gravity in a gravity-free world—these are just a few of the fantastical premises you’ll find in this collection of short stories.
Weaving classic coming-of-age themes into magical versions of our world, fifteen Christian writers each bring a fresh perspective on childhood, loneliness, and identity.
Save a spot in your beach bag, because this collection of clean, fun summer stories is more than just a fluff read. This beautifully brave anthology leads us to ask hard questions while staying grounded in the truth of the Bible. You’ll want to revisit these thought-provoking stories throughout the year…

Francis Chan changed my perspective

Why I Enjoy Your Tears (aka the importance of hope during grief)
Grief is a funny thing, in the fact that it’s not really funny at all. No matter who you are, there’s at least one thing I know about you. You’ve experienced pain. You’ve been hurt. I know this because we live in a broken, fallen world. Because of...
