Thinking Out Loud is about the people I met, the places I have visited and the eventful journeys that helped me to learn how to stop and smell the roses. Moving too fast is not always the best way to go. Some of the people that I had the pleasure of crossing paths with still hold dearness in my heart. Others, well some things are better unsaid. The places that I visited opened up my view of this great country of ours. Those episodes or should I say experiences again to lighten it up, helped me to get a better understanding of other people's perspective rather than assuming - I know what they are trying to say.

In Think, you’ll find 20 straightforward studies that explore what the Bible says about controversial and difficult topics.

"Sadly, studies show that there are few differences in the attitudes and actions between people who claim to be Christians and those who don’t choose that label. But everything we read in the Bible says we should be transformed; we should be different than the rest of the world. What would it look like if you lived the life God desires for you? How would your life be different if you abandoned your typical routine and refused to settle for anything less than the best God has in store for you? In Thrive, you’ll find 20 life-impacting studies that will draw you into the Bible and help you understand who you are and who God wants to help you become.

Even if you struggle to keep your faith alive at times, God wants to help you thrive. The reality is, God loves us just the way we are—but he also loves us too much to leave us that way."

"It’s easy to follow someone you can see. When your mom leads you through the aisles of a store, you can clearly see her. Maybe you can even anticipate her next turn.

But today, as you try to follow Jesus, how do you stay in step with him? Especially if you don’t know who he is or where he’s leading you? In Follow, you’ll find 20 eye-opening studies that will draw you into the Bible and reveal to you the real Jesus.
