What do you think of when I put the words "Christian" and "Community" together? Do you hear those words and celebrate?

Have ya’ll ever been pregnant? I bet you have. Yes, even all you men out there reading this.

Okay, so I know Christmas is all about Jesus coming down and giving to flesh the name Immanuel—God with Us—and that is THE most radical, compassionate story out there.

Happy New Year!  … wait, what? No, I’m not drunk. According to the church calendar, the beginning of the new year begins with the first day of Advent. And the first day of Advent was December 1st!

Have you ever waited and waited for something? The release of a new movie, that certain someone to text you back, or graduation? Sometimes, it feels like forever!

This week is the first week of Advent. If that sentence made no sense to you whatsoever, let me explain.

As Christians, we may try to bring God into our chapters. But is it possible that He is already there?

Earlier this week I stood in line at the fourth grocery store of the day for what felt like far longer than the few hours we’d been out.

Confession: When I got to college and joined a fraternity, I thought that growing in your faith worked a lot like growing up. You don’t really think about it – it just happens, right? Every day you get exactly 24 hours older – with zero effort.

College can be a challenging space for faith and Greek Life. One of the most difficult problems many Christians in fraternities and sororities encounter is how to address hazing within their chapters.

Nicknames are often bestowed on new members. At best, they’re a sign of affection and acceptance. But at their worst, they’re meant to humiliate and degrade.

It’s Thursday night- thousands of Greeks are defying 2,000 years of Roman Calendar tradition by starting their weekend two days early. The sound of music and the smell of beer mixed with other burning substances fills the halls of the fraternity.

Often times, people hear about God’s love and mercy and they’re excited. They say, “Yes! That’s what I want.” But then, their faith fizzles out after awhile. We might look around and wonder why some people seem to have a faith that carries them through trials, while others seem to be blown about by the winds of the storm.

Remember last week how we talked about spending time with God? Well, we're going to go there again in this week's devotional. Every month, I set a day in my calendar to spend with God in silence and solitude. I live in Salt Lake City, UT where I am within 20 minutes of hundreds of spectacular trailheads into the mountains so I have plenty of options to get away with God.

The summer can provide a refreshing change of pace as a college student. You don’t have an 8 AM class to get up for, chapter meetings and events to plan or attend, or busy schedules to manage.

Trials, challenges, hard times, suffering, grief - whatever it’s been for you recently, it's hard enough as it is. Combine that with trying to have the “right Christian attitude” about it, ugh.

The past couple of years I have been facinated with movies and tv shows about fighting. I LOVED the movie "Creed"- the illegitimate son, Adonis, of legendary boxer, Apollo Creed, who follows in his father's footsteps and boxes a world champion. It has everything I love- a good underdog story, training montages, action and excitement, a love story, and best of all: Michael B. Jordan. I'm also into the Netflix series, "Glow"- a show about a group of rag-tag actresses who find themselves on a women's wrestling show. Women who kick butt- yep that's awesome.

Do all the things! That’s how we often approach life - balancing classes, internships, being on a million exec. teams, hanging out with friends, and finding time to do laundry.

The summer after my junior year of college, I interned with a lifestyle magazine. My internship gave me opportunities to write. I also got to attend art gallery openings, clubs and other events around town that wanted press. It was what I thought I wanted to do.
