The Alignment: God’s Plan and Your Obedience
We don’t always choose our situations. We can’t always control the outcomes. And we can’t always plan for what comes next. But we can choose radical obedience right now. What is God asking of you today? Let me start by being honest… This post has taken me almost four weeks to write. I’ve opened my…

Agape: The Depth of God’s Love for You
Love is not a simple word. It carries layers, meaning, and depth. It looks different in different seasons, in different relationships, and through different experiences.

The Unpopular Life: Taking a Seat at His Table
People pleaser. Right here. It’s me. I am a people pleaser. Maybe you are too. Maybe you know what it feels like to carry that need to be liked by everyone, to keep the peace, to make others happy, to be seen in a good light. It doesn’t sound like too much to ask, right?…

The Unraveling: Trusting God with the Whole Story
I saw a video the other day of a woman unraveling a knit sweater. Instead of throwing it away, she carefully pulled it apart, thread by thread, with the intention of making something entirely new from the same yarn. That image has stayed with me. I keep replaying it in my mind. There’s something powerful…

The Vulnerable Place: Unmasked by God’s Presence
As I prayed for direction for this post, I found myself whispering “Ouch.” This was truth I needed to hear first. My prayer is that it invites you to go deeper with God and with His people as you step into the vulnerable place alongside the Holy Spirit. At the end of Acts 9, we’re…

From the Fire to the Fountain: Position Yourself for Victory
Lately, I’ve been thinking about the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. If you aren’t familiar with their story, here’s a brief recap: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were young Jewish men living in Babylon who refused to bow down to a massive golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar demanded everyone worship.
