Roman Roads are Made to Last—And so are You

by Lana Christian · In: Encouragement, Healing · on Jan 16, 2023

In the process of writing biblical fiction, my research can lead me to fascinating facts, like how first-century Romans built a network of 250,000 miles of roads across three continents. But that’s just trivia until you consider why those roads still endure today….

Sipping, Drinking, or Drowning in God’s Word

by Lana Christian · In: Encouragement, Focus, Truth · on Oct 10, 2022

Have you felt “compassion fatigue” lately? Like you can’t bear to hear of another international crisis, local calamity, or another friend dealing with crushing loss? At times like those, you just want a lifeline. An uplifting movie to ease the pain. An encouraging Bible verse to buoy you. A pithy saying to cling to like a life raft….

When David Talked to Himself and God at the Same Time

by Lana Christian · In: Encouragement, Perseverance · on Jul 16, 2022

Last week, life was a mess. New health issues threatened me, a client discriminated against me, more friends buried loved ones, and I was like, “Really? Again? Still?” So God in His goodness nudged me toward Psalm 62….

God is 55 Miles Closer than You Know

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Encouragement, Trust · on May 22, 2022

A church misconception is that if you’re “godly,” your faith won’t falter. I beg to differ….

What God Does With Your Ugly

by Lana Christian · In: Encouragement, God at work, scars · on May 1, 2022

In my read-straight-through-the Bible effort, I’m almost through the book of Judges. It is UGLY. “And the Israelites did evil in the sight of the Lord”—on repeat. I asked God if I could skip Judges. Seriously. Of course, I knew the answer before I asked. Every word of the Bible is there for a reason….

5 Truths Embedded in the Shepherds’ and Wise Men’s Visits to Jesus

by Lana Christian · In: Encouragement, God's character · on Dec 20, 2021

God’s First Evangelism Outreach was WHEN?

by Lana Christian · In: Encouragement, God at work · on Nov 29, 2021

Last week I wrote about what God revealed of Himself to the Egyptians through the ten plagues. There’s more to that story … cool stuff that doesn’t deal with plagues. (I hear that exhale!)…

Lessons from Grafting (yeah, that kind, too)

by Lana Christian · In: Encouragement, God at work · on Nov 15, 2021

As I started my newest day-job assignment writing about a treatment for graft-versus host disease, I had an epiphany. Call me a geek, but I see spiritual implications in many medical topics I write about. Especially this assignment….

When Exhaustion Overwhelms You

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Encouragement · on Sep 27, 2021

Since August, work had been wringing the life out of me, so I planned on writing about exhaustion. (It seemed appropriate.) Geesh. Last month’s exhaustion was nothing compared to these past three weeks….
