Long on this Path

November 25, 2023 ~ James ~ 7 Comments

For much of my life, I've been journeying along the spiritual path, following Jesus. Initially, this journey was about "believing" in Jesus as the embodiment of Christ in human form. As someone who finds comfort in intellect, the concept of belief suited me. Over time, I began to see belief as more than an idea; … Continue reading Long on this Path

The Leaves through my Window

November 14, 2023 ~ James ~ Leave a comment

In my usual morning spot, I sit, gazing through the window at the neighboring tree. The bright yellows have faded to browns, leaving much empty space. The tree has shed its leaves, which served it faithfully through spring and summer. I ponder: Is it easy for trees to relinquish their leaves annually? This question lingers … Continue reading The Leaves through my Window

Not My Place, Not My People

October 6, 2023 ~ James ~ Leave a comment

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. I arrived for my first day of the first-grade. Ms. Key was my teacher. I did not know her; I did not know anyone in my class. I did not like riding the bus. I did not like much that day. Thus, I began … Continue reading Not My Place, Not My People

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. “There is no such thing as a ‘stupid question.’” I have heard that phrase many times in my life. Some folks who say it probably mean it.

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.
