A Christmas Reminder: You Are Deeply Loved
When I see all the decorations around and hear carols, I always have to stop and think about what the season truly means.

But behind all the sparkle and tinsel is a softer story, a story wovenContinueContinue reading “A Christmas Reminder: You Are Deeply Loved”
Manasseh: The Invitation to Finally Let It Go
There’s a moment in worship that feels quiet, trembling, and holy. It’s when you sense God nudging the deepest parts of you. Not the polished version you show the world. Not the “I’m fine” you’ve practiced until it sounds perfect. I mean the part of you that still flinches at certain memories.

Shift Part 2: Shifting Our Minds
Once the heart is transformed, the mind needs to be also. Paul reminds us in Romans 12:2 to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Our thinking makes our world because “as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7).

Life has a way of distracting our hearts in every direction. Work deadlines loom, family responsibilities call, bills need to be paid, goals to be met; before we know it, our eyes are fixed on all the activity around us and not on the One who holds it all together. But as soon as weContinueContinue reading “Look Up”

What Are You Doing With What You’ve Been Given?
One of the most sobering and motivating parables Jesus shared was the story of the servants and the talents in Matthew 25:14–30. If you’ve read it before, you know it’s not just about money. It’s about stewardship, purpose, accountability, and what we do with what God has entrusted to us. In the parable, a masterContinueContinue reading “What Are You Doing With What You’ve Been Given?”
Freedom Looks Different When You’re Free in Christ
As we celebrate Juneteenth, the day the last enslaved people in the United States finally received word of their freedom, I can’t help but reflect on the layered reality of what freedom truly means. As a Black woman in this world, I know all too well that freedom isn’t always experienced equally. The truth is,ContinueContinue reading “Freedom Looks Different When You’re Free in Christ”
