“My grace is enough for you, For in weakness power reaches perfection.” --St. Paul   I’m in the business of compassionate healing. As a psychologist, my patients come to me in emotional and mental pain. They feel broken and want to be whole. They want relief from their suffering--their depression, anxiety, tempers, compulsions, and disturbing obsessions. Coming to me, they ask me to witness their suffering and bring them relief. Two questions often haunt them: “Why is this happening to me? How can I fix it?” In their desperation, they look for answers from me, whom they consider “the expert.” Contrary to their expectations, I direct those questions back to themselves and assure them, “You have the answers, but don’t know it yet.” I invite them to pay close attention to their own experience, to listen to the subtle voices speaking within, and to engage in open and honest dialogue with themselves. For many, that is a new experience. These voices have been drowned out by the...

Malcolm Muggeridge spent much of his life as a skeptic, a journalist who saw through illusions and mocked pretension. He had witnessed war, political corruption, and the failures of ideology. For years, he believed that truth was only what could be exposed — never what could be adored. But slowly, the irony gave way to insight. Muggeridge began to see that the world’s emptiness pointed toward something fuller. His encounters with people of faith — especially Mother Teresa — revealed a joy that defied logic.

He wrote that faith was “the great discovery of my later years,” the only lens through which human suffering and beauty made sense. The journalist who once sought scandal found grace instead. Muggeridge’s transformation reminds us that faith can begin in disillusionment. When the world’s promises collapse, the soul starts listening. He discovered that...

  Jennifer Fulwiler didn’t find God in a moment of emotion or crisis. She found Him through logic — through the steady, rational process of asking questions and following truth wherever it led. Raised in an atheist home, Jennifer approached faith as a skeptic and a thinker. Her conversion began not with a vision, but with a conclusion: that the world made more sense if God existed. She once wrote that this logical foundation gave her confidence — that reason would sustain her even through moments of doubt. And yet, her faith was never abstract. It was lived in the most tangible way possible — amid the joyful chaos of raising six children. Her blog, Conversion Diary , chronicled those early years with humor and honesty. One unforgettable photo showed what she found one morning: a doll, face‑down on a leather chair, lying in a puddle of pee. Real life, unfiltered — and somehow, sacred. Jennifer’s transformation reminds us that faith doesn’t always arrive through thunder or tears. Som...
