“This chick has BPD.” It only took 15 minutes of watching Amber Heard’s testimony for me to see she had a personality disorder. I had no idea the trial between Heard and Johnny Depp would be livestreamed, so I didn’t tune in to the popular case until Heard’s team began their defense. Once I heard Amber speak, however, I … [Read more...]
A 2021 HFE Update and 5 of My Favorite Articles From 2020
Yes, I’m alive. I’m exhausted, but I’m still alive. 2020 did a number on me, man. And 2020 part 2 isn’t being much kinder. But anyway, let me stop with the negativity. I wrote this to give an update, not to complain. First, I apologize for the lack of content lately. My production was in a good spot early last year, … [Read more...]
Do Soulmates Exist? And What Does the Bible Say About Soulmates?
I recently got a question from a fellow Christian about soulmates. Despite reading my warnings about the danger of soulmate thinking, he still believed it, and it was mostly because of church teaching. Sure, it’s easy to reject secular beliefs, but with the way people over-spiritualize the Bible, I understand why he … [Read more...]
202 Bits of Wisdom I Would Share With My Younger Self
Happy New Year! I know I’m a little late on that, but hey, better late than never. Anyway, 2020 is the start of a new decade, and I thought I’d use this opportunity to round up some lessons I learned in the last one. I couldn’t quite make it to 2,020 though, so I knocked off the last zero for a total of 202 instead. All … [Read more...]
A Light in the Dark: Why You Need a Heart for the Underground to Do Great Things (Going Great #6)
“How come you always get more views than me?” I was playing Call of Duty when that question came over Xbox Live. This was back in the good ol’ summer days: I had no work and no school, so my friends and I spent all day grinding CoD and making vids for YouTube. But anyway, I hesitated to answer that question. It came … [Read more...]
The Ego-less Servant: How to Provide Irresistible Value with None of the Headache (Going Great #4)
I hate pride. There aren’t many things that bother me in life, but when people delude themselves into thinking they’re better than another human, it takes all the power within me to not snap. I’m not sure why this upsets me as much as it does. Maybe it’s because I’ve stood on the opposite side too many times. Maybe it’s … [Read more...]
Eyes Fit for a King: 3 Steps to Avoid Pornography So You Can Do Great Things (Going Great #3)
Sexual discipline. I covered the topic briefly in my last post, but it’s so important that I need to address its biggest threat: Pornography is a temptation that many men (and women) know all too well. Besides being immoral, porn threatens your sexual discipline, which in turn can ruin your focus and prevent you from … [Read more...]
12 Ways Young Professionals Can Thrive on the Job (Without Kissing Up to Anyone)
One of my biggest regrets of my early writings is how I discussed work. In particular, I regret how I described the workplace. A lot of those posts don’t paint 9-to-5’s in the best light. And I think that was a mistake. Contrary to what those articles imply, I actually like my job. It’s been a huge blessing to me and … [Read more...]
The Best of HFE so Far! Counting Down the Top 10 Must-Read Articles
Last month, I published the 60th post here at HFE. That’s an incredible achievement, especially since I never thought I’d make it past 40. I’m not someone who can write about stuff I don’t care about. So the fact that I’ve been able to do this sixty times—with each post averaging close to 2,000 words—is surreal. But now … [Read more...]
