"The instruction of the Lord is perfect, renewing one’s life; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise. The precepts of the Lord are right, making the heart glad; the command of the Lord is radiant, making the eyes light up." - Psalm 19:7–8 Life will wear you down. You feel it in your bones some days. The pressure, the routine, the failures, the questions. We all go ...  Read More

"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 We spend a lot of time checking everything but our hearts. We check our bank account. We check our texts. We check the weather, the scoreboard, our emails, and our schedules. But how often...  Read More

"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise." - Psalm 19:7 There are days when your faith feels weak. Days when your energy is gone, your spirit feels tired, and your motivation has all but disappeared. You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re just running on empty. And the truth is, we all get there at some point. ...  Read More

“She brought an alabaster jar of perfume and stood behind him at his feet, weeping, and began to wash his feet with her tears.” - Luke 7:37-38 There’s something powerful that happens when you come into the presence of Jesus. The woman in Luke 7 didn’t come with a speech. She didn’t bring credentials or a resume. She brought her brokenness. And that was enough. Her actions were raw and real. She wa...  Read More

“Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.’” - John 20:21 There are some truths in life that are up for debate, but this isn’t one of them. When you open your Bible and actually read what Jesus says, there’s no way around it. Everyone who is saved is sent. That’s not up for discussion. It’s undeniable. We try to complicate it. We convince ou...  Read More

“Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.” - Psalm 51:12 There are seasons when you are running on empty and barely notice it. You still go through the motions, but underneath the surface, your purpose feels blurry, your hope feels shaky, and your joy feels flat. This is exactly where renewal matters. Not just a better attitude, but a complete refresh of your s...  Read More

“About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them” - Acts 16:25 In Acts 16, we see that Paul and Silas had just been beaten, arrested, and thrown in prison. Their crime? Casting a demon out of a young girl and upsetting the economy of the city. They did something right, and it landed them in a cell, bruised and bleeding. Most of us, if w...  Read More

“But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord” - Jonah 1:3 When God called Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach repentance, Jonah ran. Not just emotionally or spiritually, he literally ran in the opposite direction. God said to go east to Nineveh, and Jonah hopped a ship headed west to Tarshish. Why? Because obedience felt too uncomfortable. Nineveh was dangerous. It was full of p...  Read More

"Everyone who is saved is sent." - John 20:21 There is an uncomfortable truth we have to acknowledge as believers: being sent by God is rarely comfortable. In fact, if you look closely at the Bible, you’ll see a pattern. Every time God sends someone, there is discomfort. Being obedient to His call usually means stepping into the unknown, facing fear, or giving up something you thought you could no...  Read More

"Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day might bring." – Proverbs 27:1 It only takes one day for everything to change. One day for the diagnosis. One day for the breakthrough. One day for the phone call that flips your world upside down. Or right-side up. We spend so much time planning, projecting, and assuming, but the truth is, we don’t control any of it. That’s why this prov...  Read More

“They broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts.” – Acts 2:46 Some things never change. From the earliest days of the church all the way back to the tent of Abraham, something sacred has happened around a table. When people sit down to share a meal, walls tend to come down, and something deeper gets stirred in the heart. The Bible shows us that food is oft...  Read More

“As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” – John 20:21 Most of us have no problem going when someone sends us. If your spouse sends you to grab milk, you go. If your boss sends you to a meeting, you show up. If your kids send you for a late-night snack run, you’re in the car before they finish the sentence. When people we care about or respect ask us to do something, we respond. But w...  Read More
