It’s become an annual tradition to compile a list of the most popular posts from my blog in the past year. It’s always interesting to see which posts get passed around the internet. I hope these posts were helpful to readers, made some people think, and most importantly, glorified Jesus. Thanks so much for reading and for sharing my stuff!
I’ll also be doing a post of my personal favorite posts of the year. Watch for that in the next few days!

When Women March in the Wrong Direction
This post was inspired by the women’s march back in January. There are so many things that baffle me about modern feminism. Here are just a couple of things that I don’t get about it.
What Your Kids Really Need is Your Authentic Christian Life
All at once a relief and a challenge: what your kids really need from you.
A Letter to a Church Member (or, A Letter to Myself)
