Scripture & spiritual disciplines

Guides

Passages for the hard moments of litigation, and daily practices to help you keep going. Each guide stands on its own. Start with the one that meets today.

Scripture and disciplines for the season

The Scripture Bank

These are the moments that recur in a hard family-court season, matched to Scripture passages worth carrying into them.

Praying honestly mid-fight

Praying honestly is hard when you are drafting motions against the person named in the prayer. A four-movement pattern gives you the words.

The daily floor

Litigation shrinks life down to the case. Set a small floor beneath yourself that the case is not allowed to touch.

Forgiveness that does not waive rights

Someone will eventually tell you that a real Christian would forgive and drop this. They are wrong about what forgiveness requires.

The vengeance filter

The reckoning belongs to God, not to you. Here is the practical distinction between justice and vengeance for a litigant.

Hearing days and hostile-filing days

Decide in advance how you will handle the predictable flashpoints of hearing days and hostile filings.

May a Christian fight this fight?

You may carry this question yourself, or have it aimed at you like a weapon. It deserves an honest answer, not a quick one.
