In the Shadow of the Cross: A Good Friday Reflection

April 18, 2025April 17, 2025 ~ James ~ 1 Comment

Good Friday invites us into a place we often try to avoid—a place of sorrow, silence, and endings not yet redeemed. We stand in the shadow of the cross, where suffering is not abstract or far away, but heartbreakingly real. It’s a day that doesn’t leap forward to resurrection, but instead honors what hurts.

Desperately Seeking Control

December 10, 2023 ~ James ~ 3 Comments

It's Easier to Believe the Bad Stuff - Infinitely Precious

In this episode of the Infinitely Precious Podcast, James reflects on the human tendency to seek validation through the perceptions of others while struggling to believe the good about ourselves. Drawing on a line from Pretty Woman—“It’s easier to believe the bad stuff”—he explores why criticism and self-doubt often feel more believable than affirmation, and how much energy we spend trying to manage how others see us. What if, instead of chasing approval, we practiced receiving what is already true? Through the simple spiritual rhythm of recognize, release, return, James invites listeners to notice the harsh inner voice, release the need to prove their worth, and return to the deeper truth that they are already infinitely precious, already loved, and already enough.
