      <image:title>Blog - Stuck in Overdrive: Why We’re Always Doing and Rarely Slowing Down</image:title>
      <image:caption>Recently, I spoke to college students at TCU about stress, burnout, and what it looks like to slow down in a culture that rewards constant doing. The conversation reminded me of something I see often in my work with young adults: most people aren't struggling because they're doing something wrong. They're struggling because they've been in overdrive for so long that slowing down feels risky. So, why does rest feel so hard, even when we're exhausted?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Faith and Mental Health: Learning That Faith and Struggle Can Coexist - This past week, I spoke to college students at UNT and TWU about navigating mental health and faith together. At the center of the talk was a tension many of us can carry: the assumption that a strong faith should eliminate emotional struggle, and the confusion that follows when it doesn't.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - I Never Really Left Parish Ministry</image:title>
      <image:caption>Earlier this month, I stood in front of a room full of youth ministers and their volunteers, teaching them how to recognize and respond to mental health challenges in the students they serve.  Watching them lean in as we talked through warning signs and pastoral boundaries, I felt a familiarity I didn’t expect, and I realized: I never really left my work in ministry. My work now is just a continuation of ministry in a different way.</image:caption>
