I’ve always been told that faith could move mountains, but no one warned me about how heavy those mountains would be when you’re the one standing beneath them.
This space— Korynnthians — isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about learning to live in the in-between. My name is Korynn and I am a Christian college student trying to make sense of the chaos that lives inside my mind — depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD— all the words that have tried to define me. I’m learning that these things don’t cancel out my faith; they just make it more complicated, more human, and more sacred.
Some days, I feel close to the Lord— like He’s right beside me, calming the uncharted waters of life. Other days, I feel like I am shouting into an empty room, wondering if He still hears me at all. But maybe that’s what faith really is: the decision to keep talking, even when it feels like no one is answering.
I created this blog to not only write through the fog to show that perfection is not needed for execution, but also to shed light on a topic so taboo yet so important. To talk about prayer when it feels impossible, to find grace in the middle of panic, and remind myself and others that healing doesn’t always need to look like sunlight. Sometimes, it looks like showing up for another day and finding acceptance in that being enough.
If you ever feel like you’re too much or not enough, too broken or too tired, I hope you find a small piece of peace here. Not the kind that fixes everything— the kind that simply sits with you in the dark and says, “You’re not alone.”
Welcome to Korynnthians.
My letters from the middle of the storm.
