Midweek Reset: Worship When You’re Weary
By midweek, life can feel exhausting. Worship shifts our focus from our circumstances to God’s goodness. Here’s why praising Him when we’re weary changes everything
When Enough is Never Enough: The Danger of Coveting and Comparison
Materialism is woven into American culture, but the real struggle might be something deeper—coveting. We often compare up, rarely down, and in doing so, we lose sight of what really matters. If we’re not careful, we let money, not God, become our security. What if we shifted our perspective?
When You Don’t Feel Like You’re Growing, But You Are
Spiritual growth rarely happens overnight. It’s like planting a fruit tree—years of watering and waiting before you see any sign of fruit. But just because you don’t see change doesn’t mean nothing is happening. God is always at work, preparing you for the harvest. The real question is, will you be ready when the fruit comes?
How to Stay Faithful When Life Feels Ordinary
Most of life isn’t spent in grand spiritual moments. It’s lived in the quiet routines of everyday life—grocery shopping, conversations around the table, small acts of love. But what if we saw these moments as opportunities to honor God? Learn how to stay faithful when life feels ordinary.
Leading Without Emptying Yourself: Staying Spiritually Full in Ministry
Leadership can drain you. The expectations, the late-night calls, the never-ending needs—it all adds up. But God never intended for you to run on empty. If you're feeling exhausted, this is for you. Discover how to lead from a place of overflow rather than depletion
The Book Is in the House
Last night, something unusual happened. I felt the need to open a physical Bible, free from notifications and distractions. That moment, combined with a simple hallway encounter and a dinner conversation, led to a powerful realization. The book has always been in the house—but was I truly opening it?
Pick Up Your Tools and Build Again
When life feels scattered and broken, God doesn’t just fix everything for us. He calls us to build. Inspired by Pastor Jentezen Franklin’s message at the CMN Conference, this reflection challenges us to pick up our tools, step into faith, and start rebuilding what the enemy has tried to tear down.
Transforming Your Vision: Seeing Life Through God’s Eyes
How do I really see? Yesterday, Pastor Juan shared a powerful message that challenged me to consider whether I’m viewing life through my own experiences or through God’s eyes. Am I seeing myself, others, and ministry the way He does? Join me as we explore how to shift our vision to align with God's truth."
Are You Prepared for the Miracle?
What if God is ready to move, but He’s waiting on you to prepare? In 2 Kings 3, God told His people to dig ditches before they saw a drop of water. Faith doesn’t wait for signs—it prepares in expectation.
What If It’s Not What You Think?
Ever dreaded a conversation, expecting the worst—only to find out it wasn’t nearly as bad as you thought? Our minds love to jump to worst-case scenarios, but so often, the things we worry about never actually happen. Today’s post is a reminder to shift our focus from fear to trust.
Where Were You? Trusting God’s Sovereignty in Uncertainty
We all have our "But Lord…" moments—times when life doesn’t make sense and we’re left with more questions than answers. But in Job 38, God shifts the perspective: “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?” It’s a humbling reminder that even when we don’t understand, He is still in control.
The Unfinished Work
In my hallway, there’s a small wall I never finished painting. Three years later, it’s still undone. But that unfinished wall reminded me of something bigger—God doesn’t leave His work in us incomplete. Even when we feel stuck, He is still moving.
The Power of Showing Up
Some of the most important things in life don’t happen because we feel inspired. They happen because we choose to show up, even when we don’t feel like it. Whether it’s faith, leadership, or personal growth, consistency matters.
Growth Doesn’t Happen by Accident
Most people want to grow. Few people want to put in the work. Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It requires discipline, humility, and perseverance.
The Simple Joy of Small Accomplishments
Sometimes, it’s the small, seemingly insignificant accomplishments that matter the most. Celebrating the small wins, like completing a puzzle or crossing off a task, reminds us of the steady progress we’re making every day. Learn why small steps are just as important as big wins in building a meaningful life.
What Are You Feeding Your Mind?
I haven’t tuned out the news completely, but I have made a conscious effort to avoid the fear-driven, opinion-heavy reporting that stirs people up. It’s easy to fall into the trap of consuming negativity, and before we know it, we’re frustrated, anxious, and even angry. But Philippians 4:8 challenges us to be intentional about what we allow to shape our thoughts. So today, take a step back and ask: What am I feeding my mind?
Peace in the Chaos: Holding onto John 16:33
This morning, I opened the Bible App’s verse of the day—John 16:33. Jesus doesn’t sugarcoat life. Trouble is inevitable, but so is His victory. What if peace isn’t about avoiding struggles but learning to trust the One who has already overcome? Let’s talk about that today.
Embracing the Unexpected: Finding God’s Presence in Life’s Interruptions
Yesterday, I was sure we’d be home today. But the snow didn’t come like expected, and now I’m debating whether to venture out. Life is full of these moments—times when plans shift, and we’re left deciding how to respond. Maybe interruptions aren’t just obstacles; maybe they’re opportunities. Let’s talk about trusting God when things don’t go as planned.
The Power of a True Friend: Loyalty Over Convenience
Most of us have at least one friend we know would pick up the phone if we were really in a bind. But are we that kind of friend to others? This post explores what true friendship looks like and why loyalty matters more than convenience."
A Painful Lesson in Humility: How Pride Can Lead to a Fall
It’s easy to think we’ve got everything under control—until a moment of unexpected humility reminds us otherwise. I learned that lesson the hard way when a vine, a swing, and my own overconfidence left me flat on my back. But pride’s fall isn’t just physical; it can affect every area of life.
