Anchored in Christ

Forgive me if I flooded your email inbox this month with lots of random posts! I’m transferring some old content onto this blog as well as gearing up to promote my book with new content that I don’t want sent to subscribers individually.

(Also, there is still time to join the launch team for my book When Prayer Is Struggle!)

For those interested in my book launch, there will be an in-person event at The Orchard EFC in Arlington Heights, IL (my home church) to launch the book on August 8th. More details to come.

Justin Taylor shared about a new service with promising potential: The Most Effective Technology on the Planet to Block Pornography. I use and recommend Covenant Eyes and hadn’t heard of this new service, but I’m thankful for those who thought through these ideas.
