By Moving Mountains Book Club Welcome back to the Moving Mountains Book Club blog! We are continuing our journey through Evie Woods’ The Lost Bookshop, and Chapter 4 takes us on an unforgettable turn across the English Channel with Opaline. If there is a core theme in Chapter 4, it is the incredible courage it takes to step away from expectations, step into the unknown, and claim your own voice. Let’s dive into what happened—and what it means for us as a community. 📖 Chapter

Last week, we looked at Colossians 2:15: “He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.” This verse pairs seamlessly with our series on James 2:13, where we are spending this month unpacking a single word each week from the phrase: “Mercy triumphs over judgment.” Both verses share two vital words: “triumph” and “over.” So for week three, as we focus on the word “Over,” we return to Colossians 2:15 to see what Christ actuall

Our Moving Mountains book club journey through The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods continues! Following our introduction to Martha in Chapter Two, Chapter Three shifts our focus to another intriguing character: Henry. Charming, Complex, or Misunderstood? On the surface, Henry immediately stands out as a charming and engaging presence. But as any seasoned reader knows, first impressions don't always tell the whole story. As we get to know Henry in Chapter Three, there's an undenia

Meeting Martha Without giving away any spoilers for those reading along at home, Chapter Two give

Both of these statements are true, and they must be held together: the life of Jesus was a death march, and the life of Jesus was a victory parade. Scripture makes one thing abundantly clear: there is no defeat in the cross—only triumph. Everything in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus—even the moments that appeared to be losses—was a victory. Why? Because every single moment fulfilled God’s eternal plan. Every moment fulfilled prophecy. And Christ did it all as our s

Living with a brain injury is like waking up in a world that’s suddenly unfamiliar. The simplest tasks can feel like climbing a mountain. But here’s the truth I’ve learned: resilience isn’t about never falling. It’s about getting up, again and again, even when the path is steep and rocky. I want to share what I’ve discovered on this journey—how to face the challenges head-on, find strength in vulnerability, and keep moving forward. Understanding Resilience in Brain Injury Res

James 2:13: “For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.” Mercy. Triumphs. Over. Judgment. It’s an iceberg of a verse, one with so much meaning underneath the surface of those four words. It quite literally carries the entire narrative of the Bible! And even though James 2:13 is towards the end of the New Testament, we have to go all the way back to the very beginning of Genesis to understand its weight and importance. Genesis be

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

The weekend before my accident, I was a busy bee. But honestly? That was just our normal with four energetic boys. I was working overnight shifts on the weekends, going to school during the week, and loving every minute of our chaotic, beautiful life. At 34, I was athletic, loved obstacle course races, and was always on the move. That particular weekend was a whirlwind: I passed my embalming finals, we celebrated our son’s 12th birthday, our boys conquered a mud run, and I ma

🧠 A Deeper Look at Neuro-Healing

When we think of "brain food," our minds usually jump to raw kale, plain nuts, or a piece of baked fish. And while those are incredible for neurological health, let's be honest: some days, your soul just needs a warm bowl of comfort food.
