Biblically, the sin of not resting is seen as disobedience to God’s rhythm of creation and a rejection of trust in His provision. It leads to spiritual dryness, societal injustice, and even exile.   Here’s how Scripture frames this:   🕊️ Rest as a Divine Command   • God modeled rest in Genesis 2:2–3, blessing the seventh day and sanctifying it. • The Sabbath was not optional—it was a covenant sign between God and Israel (Exodus 31:13–17). • Ignoring rest was treated as rebellion. In Numbers 15:32–36, a man gathering wood on the Sabbath was put to...

Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

Balancing what you know and what you believe. The questions that no one talks about.   The Bible presents marriage as a sacred, lifelong covenant, established by God and reflecting the profound unity and commitment expected between spouses, upheld by love, faithfulness, and divine authority. The sunk-cost fallacy in this setting is the tendency of Christian men to remain in relationships primarily to avoid "wasting" prior investments—time, effort, commitment—rather than making choices based on what is spiritually and relationally healthy moving forward. This cognitive bias,...

The Truth About Dreams and Reality

 

We all dream of doing better, reaching higher, and following what ignites our souls. But what happens when a dream turns out to be more fantasy than foundation? What if, over time, it proves unprofitable, unsustainable, or even harmful to our well-being? 

 

This question is especially relevant for anyone striving to live out their “passions,” sometimes without embracing the responsibilities of adulthood. While chasing your dreams can be fulfilling, it’s equally important to recognize when a dream needs adjusting—or when reality demands a shift in perspective. 

 

Signs Your Dream Might Need a Shift 

1. Financial Instability That Never Improves – If your passion constantly drains resources with no realistic plan for sustainability, it may be time for reassessment. 

2. Mental or Physical Health Decline – A true passion should energize and uplift, not lead to burnout, chronic stress, or emotional exhaustion. 

3. Ignoring Basic Responsibilities – If pursuing a dream means neglecting financial stability, relationships, or personal well-being, a more balanced approach might be needed. 

4. Lack of Growth or Learning – Dreams should evolve. If you find yourself stuck, repeating the same mistakes with no progress, it’s worth asking why. 

5. No Market or Real Demand – Some passions bring personal joy but aren’t viable as careers. Recognizing this can help you integrate them into your life in a sustainable way. 

 

Finding Balance Between Passion and Reality 

- Passion Thrives with Adaptability – Rather than clinging to a single vision, allow yourself to grow and adjust. Sometimes the dream is right—but the path needs tweaking. 

- Test the Waters Before Diving In – Small, incremental steps toward your goal can prevent unnecessary financial or emotional strain. 

- Success Isn’t Always About Money or Fame – Some dreams are about fulfillment, but even those require sustainability. 

- Embrace “Adulting” – Growth comes with responsibility. Managing finances, relationships, and obligations doesn’t kill passion—it supports it. 

- Learn from Those Who’ve Been There – Seek mentors and real-world examples from those who have pursued similar paths. Their insights could help you navigate blind spots. 

 

Beware of Social Media Illusions 

 

In today’s world, it's easy to be influenced by people with large followings who seem to be living their dream. But numbers don’t equal wisdom. Just because someone has an audience doesn’t mean they have common sense—or that their advice is right for you. 

 

You can’t base life decisions on a video from someone you don’t truly know. Social media thrives on engagement, not truth. Many influencers sell a lifestyle that may be unsustainable, unrealistic, or outright misleading. Your dreams deserve thoughtful planning—not impulsive influence. 

 

Dreams don’t need to disappear—but they do need to evolve. Recognizing when to pivot isn’t failure—it’s wisdom. The key is knowing when to push forward, when to adjust, and when to let go in order to build something better.
