Life Over Coffee Articles

Rick Thomas

The articles and resources published by Rick Thomas focus on practical sanctification, soul care, and applying the gospel directly to everyday struggles.

Core Article Topics & Categories

Fear of Man & Insecurity: Dealing with the bondage of being controlled by other people’s opinions. A core concept in these articles is that insecurity is closely related to guilt and fear, which can only be truly broken by making God’s voice louder than the crowd.
Marriage & Family Relationships: Addressing relational conflict without treating husband-and-wife problems as separate issues. Rick frequently writes on the concept of a “one-flesh” union, emphasizing that a spouse’s problems are inherently shared problems.
Suffering & Sovereignty: Helping individuals walk through deep trials, PTSD, and grief by anchoring their hope in God’s sovereign care. This theme is also explored deeply in his prominent book, Suffering Well.
Mindset & Thought Life: Exploring how emotional and behavioral problems often point back to an unexamined or poor thought life.
Decision-Making & Wisdom: Providing practical, biblical workflows to navigate complex situations, deal with difficult personalities (such as narcissism), and make choices that align with Scripture.
