The Daughter Who Walked Away
The Daughter Who Walked Away

Estrangement has become one of the quiet heartbreaks of modern family life and a phenomenon of modern culture. It lives behind smiling photos, holiday absences, unanswered texts, blocked numbers and parents who do not know what they did wrong. It lives in adult children who feel they had no choice but to leave. It lives in siblings, spouses and grandparents who are also affected by the distance. This is the story of Tania Khazaal, a daughter who cut off her mom and walked away from her family. She now helps families find their way back to one another.

Seeing Yourself Through God’s Eyes
Seeing Yourself Through God’s Eyes

When Jesus was asked about the greatest commandment, He spoke of loving God and loving others. But tucked within that command is an often-overlooked truth: we cannot give away what we do not possess. Healthy love for others is built upon a healthy understanding of who we are in Christ.

The Stories We Repeat Become the Culture We Create

Imagine seeing Canada through fresh eyes a few decades ago. The stories people told about this country were remarkably consistent. Canada was where people believed opportunity existed. Great healthcare. Great education. Strong banking. A high standard of living. Canada was seen worldwide as one of the best countries in the world to live in.

Today, those stories seem harder to find. The news headlines over the past several years have grown increasingly bleak. Many things aren't working, and there are real problems that deserve honesty. But is continually pointing fingers and amplifying what's broken actually moving us forward?

Influenced: Why every generation has something to teach us
Influenced: Why every generation has something to teach us

Ever since my gig on The Traitors Canada last fall, I am far less interested in surrounding myself with people who look exactly like me, vote like me, dress like me or were born the same decade I was. I've discovered one of life's sweetest gifts is friendship that spans generations.

The God of second chances. (Or man shopping with Jesus in tow)
The God of second chances. (Or man shopping with Jesus in tow)

‍I shared a chapter of my story before but since it’s wedding season, I thought I’d share my own love mulligan story. ‍‍ ‍

All my life, “real love” was the one thing I wanted most and seemed least likely to get. After enough heartbreak, disappointment, and trying to force what never truly fitted, I got to a place where being alone felt easier than risking more pain.
