10 Reflections on Relationships
Relationships are complex and often hard to navigate. As Christians we are called to be in community, but sometimes it’s difficult to decipher what that looks like. We are so thankful for the wisdom of beautiful Mercy graduate Catharine, who shares some of the lessons she’s learned about relationships in a season of relocation!
Hearing the Voice of God (part 1)
One of the most amazing benefits of being a child of God is that we have the ability to actually hear and discern His voice. If you are a Christian, it is your birthright gift! In John 10:27, Jesus says, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” So Jesus had an expectation that we would listen to His voice. However, many of us never get quiet enough to hear Him! It’s important that we regularly quiet ourselves and fix our hearts on Him (Hebrew 12:2).

The below truths are applicable today to all of us on a spiritual journey! Take some time to return to childlike faith and explore the ABCs! A special thanks to 2015 Graduate, Joanna!

Called to Rest
What if we aren’t always called to push through? What if we are called to rest? Okay, hear me out. I love a good sleep-until-you-wake-up kind of Saturday morning, but that’s not what I mean. I don’t think the rest we’re seeking can be found in cozy sheets or comfy pillows. We can try to find rest in worldly things. We can try to handle it all ourselves, but we sure aren’t going to make much progress without Him.
Overcoming a Victim Mentality
When you look at our culture today, there are many individuals who struggle with a victim mentality – whether they are aware of it or not. When someone struggles with victim mentality, they tend [...]
