Faith of a mustard seed
How big would you rate your faith today? I’ve often thought that my level of faith must be significant since after taking a test years ago, I discovered it was my spiritual gift. I really did believe that it could never be shaken. Without sounding prideful, I was often confident that nothing could ever change…

Where is God in the in-between?
Do you have a “life verse” from the Bible? You know, a verse or passage in the scriptures that speaks directly to you? My life verse is Jeremiah 29:11-14. You may have heard it before. v. 11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and…

Post of Honor
In the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church of Ephesus, lies a significant plea and challenge to the reader. These two words alone, don’t quite capture the spirit and urgency of Paul’s request…it’s more than a plea or a challenge…it’s a call to action. Ephesians 4:1 – NIV”I urge you to live a life worthy of…

Prayer
The Lord has been convicting my heart on the subject of prayer, which I have to admit is an area of my life that lately hasn’t been as fervent, disciplined, and devoted as it should or could be. As I thought about it and sought the Lord, He brought a few different things to mind…

Becoming: A Seed in the Hands of the Gardener
Walk into any home improvement store this time of year and you’ll see it — rows upon rows of seed packets. Tomatoes. Zinnias. Basil. Sunflowers. Each small envelope holds something far bigger than it appears. And someone decides where it will go. It begins as a thought… “The garden should go here.” But before…

You are Mine. Now Walk with Me.
After acceptance comes invitation. God isn’t asking for perfection—He’s asking for proximity. Transformation begins when we learn to walk with Him, not just work for Him. God says, ‘You are Mine.’ Then He whispers, ‘Now walk with Me.’ After acceptance comes invitation. God doesn’t simply say, You belong to Me. He says, Now walk with Me.Transformation begins when…

From Silent Wounds to Sacred Freedom
Some wounds don’t start and end with a single moment. Some start in childhood, before we even have the words for what is happening, before we understand boundaries, before we know how to protect ourselves, and sometimes they carry into adulthood. Something I learned the hard way, is that unhealed wounds don’t just disappear with…

When God Closes a Door
A year can change everything. I’m standing in a place today that I never planned to be a year ago—not because I ran from something, not because something went wrong, but because God closed a door I wasn’t expecting Him to close. For a long season, I was serving faithfully in a role I loved.…

Following Jesus may cost you something. Not following Jesus may cost you everything.
Being a follower of Jesus in today’s world is not clean, polished, or easy. It’s messy. It’s costly. It’s confusing sometimes. And yet, it is the most life-giving, soul-steadying, hope-filled path I’ve ever known. I don’t stand here as someone who has it all together. I stand here as someone who has tried to do…
