ON SPIRITUALITY AND FAITH

My prayer for the world...until everyone hears.

From Polarization to Transformation: Reshaping Our Collective Future

By skarafanda | Oct 23, 2025

Have you ever felt it? The pull. The division. It feels like we’re being pushed into camps, with less and less room in between. It’s a tension you can almost feel in the air. I think about this a lot. I look for patterns, and I found a powerful one in an unlikely place: physics. The universe, at its very core, is all about waves and vibrations. This is a concept from…

The Beautiful Mess of Transformation

By skarafanda | Oct 19, 2025

Faith can feel like risky business. I know it does for me sometimes. It’s not a passive, comfortable state of being. It demands something from us. It asks us to step into the unknown and trust that something beautiful is waiting on the other side of our fear. When we truly seek peace, we can’t just wish for it. We have to dive headfirst into the turmoil. We have to face the…

Getting back to the gym

By skarafanda | Oct 12, 2025

I have a friend who recently pulled a muscle in his back while working out. Such is the price of exercise and getting older (he’s in his 20s). He’ll rest and get back to the gym soon enough. He’s wired to keep his healthy practices. Health is a core value for him. It would be easy to just stop and never go back, especially if the pain was bad enough. But not…

Get Quiet, Get Clear: How the Sound of Silence is Your Secret Superpower

By skarafanda | Sep 30, 2025

Let’s get honest: our world isn’t just busy, it’s loud. We hop from one notification ping to the next. Noise never quits. I felt it creeping in until I realized—I could barely hear my own thoughts. If you’ve been there, you know how overwhelming it gets. About a year ago, I went to Japan. It was my first time in Asia. I was so excited for this opportunity. It was a week…

The World Listens: Kindness and Hospitality as the Ultimate Universal Language

By skarafanda | Sep 28, 2025

Let’s set the scene. Picture yourself in a place where you don’t know the language. You feel a bit out of your depth, right? It’s so easy to feel small, to feel lost. But here’s the fun twist: you don’t stay lost for long. Someone flashes you a smile. Someone holds open a door or helps you carry a heavy bag. And suddenly, things shift. You feel it, right? That warm feeling?…

Discovering Intimacy Through Covenant Prayer

By skarafanda | Sep 1, 2025

I’ve been saying the Wesleyan Covenant prayer in church for years. Same routine. Same beginning of the year ritual. Same remembrance of baptism. But everything changed when I heard Carey Nieuwhof’s podcast on revival. Suddenly, this familiar prayer wasn’t just about remembering my covenant with God anymore. It became about intimacy. Real, deep, transformative intimacy. Think about marriage for a second. There’s a level of communication you have with your spouse that…
