Waiting Well: Meeting God in the Silent Seasons
To wait well is to lean in when we want to pull back. It’s to light our lamps with trust and faithfulness. It’s to keep our hearts open, our hands obedient, and our eyes on the horizon.
So if you’re in a waiting season right now, whether it’s for healing, direction, provision, or just a sense of peace, take heart.
Living an Integrated Faith: Why You Don’t Need to Compartmentalize Your Walk with Christ
The gospel isn’t a section of your life. It’s the center. It’s the lens through which everything else comes into focus. Christ doesn’t want a slice of your schedule. He wants to shape and permeate your whole life.
So how do we begin to live integrated lives of faith?
How to Build a Bible Study Right Where You Are
Here’s what I want to remind you: You don’t have to wait for the perfect group or the perfect time. You already have what you need.
Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 3:16–17 still hold true: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the servant of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
Examine Yourself: A Biblical Invitation…
Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! (2 Corinthians 13:5, ESV)
The Key to Discernment: Renew Your Mind
Culture will always present us with distractions; bombarding us with ideas, identities, and lies designed to draw us out of His light. True spiritual maturity requires more than borrowed convictions from social media faith influencers. It is a daily rhythm of renewal, of resetting our minds by the Word of God.
Trusting God with the Gifts You Didn’t Ask For
We talk about living open-handed; about trusting God with our future, our desires, our “what ifs.” It sounds holy. Surrender looks beautiful on paper. But in practice? It often feels like heartbreak. It’s easy to let go of something when you believe it’s only temporary. Somehow thinking that God will give it back, just dressed differently.
Naming What You’ve Silently Grieved
July is my birth month. Usually, it’s when I pause, reflect, and take inventory of where I’ve been and where I’m going, but this year… it has felt different. There’s a heaviness I couldn’t shake. Not depression. Not sadness at the thought of getting older, but this deep weighty feeling. At first, I tried to push through it because, after all, nothing big or catastrophic had happened. Yet, the heavy
The Environment of Flourishing: Positioning Your Life for Growth
We all want to flourish. To grow, to thrive, to become everything God created us to be. But flourishing doesn’t just happen. It’s not random or effortless. Just like in the natural world, growth is connected to the environment. Sometimes the reason we’re not flourishing isn’t because God isn’t faithful, but because we’re planted in the wrong soil.
What Does It Really Mean to Flourish?
Lately, I’ve been sitting with the word flourish. Not in the cute, decorative sense. Not in the way it shows up on a journal cover or a wall decal. But in a deeper, spiritual kind of way. What does it really mean to flourish in the eyes of God?
Wholeness is God’s Will: How to Embrace the Healing You’ve Been Avoiding
We say we want healing, but sometimes if we’re honest, we avoid it. Not because we don’t need it, but because we know it will cost us something. Comfort. Control. Familiarity. Healing sounds good until it requires us to confront things we’ve gotten used to living with. The grief we’ve buried. The habit we’ve justified. The wound we’ve worn like a badge.
And more than anything, healing requires God’s
