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.…

Healing from church hurt without walking away from the church
Let’s start 2026 in the right place. Church hurt is real. It is not imagined, exaggerated, or unspiritual to acknowledge it. Many believers have been wounded not by the world, but by people who carried the name of Jesus. Words spoken carelessly. Authority misused. Grace withheld.
