June 16, 2022 By Drew Shepherd Leave a Comment

Things Jesus Did Thumb

He not only gave the perfect example of how God wants us to live, but He also accomplished what we could … [Read more...]

Religion and the internet. Name a more controversial duo. I was browsing one of my favorite subreddits yesterday when I was reminded of that troublesome pairing. There was a post describing a young man’s difficult choice and how his religion led him to make it. He was a fellow Christian whose stance I agreed with, but I … [Read more...]

I have a confession to make: I just lied to you. This isn’t actually my 100th article---I passed that milestone a few months ago. This is, however, the first time I’ve had 100 public articles on the site. So I thought I’d take this time to both celebrate and reflect. I never thought I’d make it this far to be honest.

I saw my first dermatologist when I was 14 years old. Since then, I’ve seen four more dermatologists, used almost every acne treatment available (including Accutane twice), and persevered through a roller coaster of skin experimentation. But now, over a decade after seeing my first derm, I can confidently say I don’t need … [Read more...]

frustrated writer who wants to be writing more

Every writer wants to write more. Problem is, that desire is no match for self-sabotage. Most writers’ attempts to be more productive often end in embarrassing defeat.

This Simple Truth Will Help You Endure Life’s Hardest Times

April 19, 2022 By Drew Shepherd 2 Comments

Things were different five years ago. I barely had a footprint online, I was basically a social outcast, and I learned that the girl who loved me didn’t even exist.  But since then, my work’s been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, countless people have thanked me for my efforts, and I’ve led some of the most unlikely … [Read more...]

forget money and fame; true success thumbnail

It’s time to redefine success. I say that not as a jealous writer who’s achieved nothing of his own, but rather, as a survivor who knows the word means something more.
