Hello, dear readers!

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me; your support and engagement mean the world. As we continue this journey together, I wanted to take a moment to share what you can expect from the blog in the upcoming weeks. Setting clear expectations helps ensure that you’re always in the loop and allows you to look forward to the content that resonates with you. It’s all about creating a space where we can engage, learn, and grow together. So, let’s dive into what’s coming next and how you can be a part of it!

I’m thrilled to give you a sneak peek into some of the exciting topics I’ll be covering soon. Over the next few posts, you can expect deep dives into several impactful themes:

• Exploring Cognitive Dissonance: A deep dive into understanding and addressing cognitive dissonance in the context of aligning our lives with God’s Word. This post will explore how reducing psychological discomfort can foster a life of authenticity, integrity, and spiritual fulfillment by aligning our hearts and actions with the Spirit of truth.
• Reflecting on Resistance: We’ll explore the metaphor of ‘scales’ clouding our vision, much like Saul’s experience on the road to Damascus. Additionally, we’ll delve into the concept of a ‘hardened heart,’ where repeated resistance to God’s truth leads to a calloused spirit, much like how the Israelites were described in the book of Exodus. Just as scales can blind us to the truth, a hardened heart can prevent us from receiving God’s Word fully, leading to spiritual blindness and stagnation.
• Practical Tips for Balance: I’ll also be sharing practical tips on maintaining a healthy work-life balance, something I’ve been personally working on. Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of the Bible, gain psychological insights, or find balance in your daily life, there’s something here for everyone.

In addition, I’ll be introducing a new series focused on the practical application of biblical principles in everyday life. This series will explore how we can actively live out God’s Word in our workplaces, homes, and communities, turning biblical wisdom into actionable steps that bring about real transformation. Whether it’s about cultivating patience, practicing humility, or seeking justice, each post will offer practical guidance on embodying these virtues in a tangible way.

Consistency is key, and I want to ensure you know when to check back for new content. Moving forward, I’ll be posting every Monday and Thursday at 9 AM CST. Posting every Monday and Thursday allows for a balance between providing regular updates and giving you ample time to reflect on each topic. By sticking to a consistent schedule, we can build a routine that keeps you informed and engaged without feeling overwhelmed.

Your input is incredibly valuable to me, and I want to hear from you! What topics are you most interested in? Are there any burning questions you’d like to see answered? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments or reach out directly.

I’m especially interested in hearing about your personal experiences with having your eyes opened to the truth of God’s Word and how you’ve dealt with areas of resistance or suppression of that truth in your own spiritual journey. How have you noticed the ‘scales’ or ‘hardened heart’ metaphors playing out in your life or in others? Your feedback not only helps shape future content but also ensures that what I’m creating is truly valuable to you. Let’s make this blog a collaborative space where your voice is heard!

Your feedback not only shapes our discussions but also helps ensure that this blog continues to serve your spiritual growth. Let’s collaborate to make this space even more enriching!

While I’ve planned out the content ahead, I understand that sometimes the best ideas come from the unexpected. I’m always open to adjusting the content based on your feedback or if inspiration strikes. This blog is for you as much as it is for me, so I’m committed to staying responsive and flexible. In the past, your suggestions have led to some of the most meaningful discussions on this blog, and I look forward to more of these collaborative moments. If there’s something new or urgent that needs addressing, you can count on me to adapt and deliver.

I can’t express enough how excited I am about the upcoming content. This next phase of posts is close to my heart, especially as it reflects my ongoing journey of balancing work and life and exploring the intersections of psychology and faith. For instance, navigating the tension between my work demands and spiritual life has been a journey, one that I believe many of you might resonate with. Personally, I’ve found that diving into these topics has been both challenging and rewarding. My recent reflections on God’s truth and work-life balance have led me to some profound insights that I’m eager to share with you.

To sum it all up, there’s a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks. From exploring cognitive dissonance and the truth of God’s Word to maintaining a regular posting schedule, I’m committed to bringing you content that’s both engaging and valuable. I’m genuinely excited to continue this journey with you, and I hope you’ll join me by sharing your thoughts, engaging with the content, and staying connected. I can’t wait to share the first post in this new series with you—stay tuned for an insightful journey ahead!
