His Word is Holy as well, and His Son is that Word made flesh, the very embodiment of His holiness, so why would we not want to read, receive, and release it so that it may do the work it was intended to do intimately in our own hearts and intentionally beyond what our finite minds can even fathom?

Just as long distance runners have to learn to pace themselves in order to maintain the endurance needed for the entirety of the race ahead, we need to learn how to slow down, look around, and ultimately, be found.
Read MoreMy One Word for 2026
/
Ironically, my search for my one word for 2026 led me to the word in more ways than one. As I sought the Lord and His guidance, and as I asked Him for wisdom and direction in the seeking, He met me not only in His Word, but in the very word itself…
Read MoreThe Darkest Day Making Way for the Perfect Light

By the light of a star, they longed to be guided to “thy perfect light” — a light that would pierce the darkness of this world, a light that would finally fill the dark void left by constantly seeking but never reaching.

Maybe your children are still under your roof, and a group text is not necessary to observe Advent.

Like Mary, let’s treasure the arrivals, beginning and coming, and the uncertainty they carry, by pondering them in our heart, and surrendering them to God.

Read MoreSpiritual Disciplines Lead to Holy Habits

Intentionality is the key that unlocks possibility. It won’t ever happen if you never start, but when you see the benefits of simply starting a spiritual discipline, you’ll want to stay the course to see it become a holy habit.
Read MoreYield to The Word Before We Wield Our Words
/
We can actually say right and good things in a wrong and bad way. Our tone, temperament, and timing are important. We can say all the right things in all the wrong ways. Instead our words should always be full of grace, seasoned with salt, avoiding any unwholesome talk.
Read MoreEnough is Enough
/
So, we can stay in the vicious cycle of striving for more, or we can stay in the victorious place of grace, being helped and held by Him, knowing Jesus is all the more we will ever need.

Read MoreFrom Falling Leaves to Faith That Stands
/
The world around us is always changing—especially in fall, when leaves fade, air cools, and beauty fills every corner. Yet even as the seasons shift, one truth remains: God never changes. In this heartfelt reflection, I share three reminders from autumn that point us back to His unchanging love, His steadfast presence, and His everlasting light.

Read MoreHeart Work is Hard Work

Maybe you, like me, need this message today…
I have been so burdened lately by all the ugliness I see in the world around me, but I know the reality is that sometimes the ugliness I see can reside in me.
It’s the condition of our humanity, mere symptoms of our sin disease.
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23, ESV)
“Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—” (Romans 5:12, ESV)
I’ve cried. I prayed. I’ve read God’s Word. I’ve actually done these three things more lately because I’ve seen just how ugly sin can be, and just how necessary it is to address it and confess it so we don’t wrongly express it.
I’m calling it heart work because that’s what it’s been for me. Looking inside my own heart for the things that break the Father’s heart so I can get rid of them and get right with Him.
“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!” (Psalm 139:23-24, ESV)
My encouragement to you…
Read MoreIt’s Been a Week…
/
Literally. Emotionally. Spiritually.
It’s been a week of heavy headlines as we’ve witnessed evil on display in real time. Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the senseless murder of Iryna Zarutska in North Carolina aren’t the first time we’ve seen pure evil with our very own eyes, and they won’t be the last, but why do they seem more blatant now than in the past?
Just like many of you, I’ve been unable to shake the heaviness I feel, and I’m convinced the weight of the burden is because spiritual warfare is real.
Evil is dark. Truth is light. Darkness leads to death. Light gives way to life. There is a war waging between the two, and it has been won by only one, but the battle is ongoing until our time on earth is done.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12, ESV)
Read MoreGod Answers Prayer
/
Maybe not always in our timing or the way we would, but His timing is perfect, His ways are higher, and His answer is always worth the wait and so much better than we could ever fathom.
So, just keep watching Him work…on the days it’s super evident and on the days it’s somewhat subtle, you have to look a little harder and dig a little deeper to truly see what He’s doing behind the scenes, below the surface, and on a deeper level.
Fruit is produced from the seeds of our prayers, and the longer we allow it to ripen while we wait, the sweeter that fruit will be!
Watching God work to answer our prayers (whether precisely or a little more methodically) is a beautiful thing, and the beauty of it all is further enhanced by our praise.
So praise Him now for the answer you see clearly today or the answer that may still be on the way.
“And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.” (1 John 5:14, ESV)
