Discerning Truth from Error: Responding to Biblical Arguments Against Women’s Voting Rights
Morning friend, Today, we’re tackling something troubling that’s gaining traction in some Christian circles. Someone sent me a video from a man who believes abolishing a woman’s right to vote in America is a good idea and God’s will. I don’t want to get political in this blog, but since he’s using Biblical arguments to support his idea (and it’s…
When He Seems Happy and I’m Not: Healing After Betrayal Without Losing Yourself
Hello, LV&Co friends! The holidays are packed away, the house exhales, and the noise of togetherness gives way to quiet evenings and early mornings.

Is My Marriage Destructive?
Morning friend, I’ve begun this year trying to practice something new. I’ll share it with you; maybe it will be helpful. Here’s the analogy. If you try to fill a small jar with 3 large unshelled walnuts and a cup of rice, success depends on the order you fill the jar. If you start with the rice, it will be…
When Silence Feels Like Betrayal: Is the Silent Treatment a Sign of Infidelity?
Beloved Readers, There’s something about January that slows us down enough to hear what we’ve been carrying. The calendar turns, the noise of the holidays fades, and the quiet feels different. I am in Colorado Springs today as I write this opening paragraph. Outside our back door lay 3 beautiful deer. As the dawn breaks this morning, I am reminded…
Choosing Health When Courage Feels Small and Backlash Feels Big
Happy New Year, friends! Every January carries a subtle invitation to begin again, though not always in the bright, fresh-start way we may imagine. For me, it feels like winter has only just begun. The days are still short, the landscape mostly grey, and there’s a long stretch ahead before warmth or bloom returns. As I step into this new…
