What’s Love Got to Do With It? Part 2: Still Everything

It’s one thing to talk about love in theory; another to live it when the world feels divided, loud, and hostile.In a time when opinions are sharp and lines are drawn, love seems like the last thing people want to discuss. Yet for believers, it’s the very thing we can’t afford to forget. As theContinueContinue reading “What’s Love Got to Do With It? Part 2: Still Everything”

What’s Love Got to Do With It?…Everything

Love.It’s a word we say often but live so inconsistently. We love our families, our friends, our favorite foods, and the people who love us back, but what about those who don’t? What about the ones who’ve wounded us, wronged us, or simply rub us the wrong way? God’s Word makes it very clear: loveContinueContinue reading “What’s Love Got to Do With It?…Everything”

Now Is the Time

There comes a moment in every believer’s walk when the question can no longer be ignored: Who will you serve? The days of straddling the fence are gone.

What’s Growing on Your Tree?

When Jesus walked the earth, He often used imagery that was simple yet profoundly revealing. One of those images was a tree. He said, “You will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16). He wasn’t just talking about what we produce in terms of accomplishments, but rather what naturally flows out of who we areContinueContinue reading “What’s Growing on Your Tree?”

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). If the heart is where it’s at, then the mind isContinueContinue reading “Shift Part 2: Shifting Our Minds”

MovingContinueContinue reading “Shift Part 1: Shifting Our Hearts”

Don’t Miss the Fruit

In my last post, The Trap of Distraction, I shared how God led me to step away from group chats and other noise in January so that I could refocus my time, energy, and creativity on what truly matters. It wasn’t easy, but I’ve come to realize that distractions don’t just steal our time. TheyContinueContinue reading “Don’t Miss the Fruit”

The Trap of Distraction

Distractions are everywhere. Notifications pinging from our phones. Endless scrolling through social media. Group chats buzzing with conversation. Even the mental clutter of worrying about tomorrow or rehashing yesterday can steal our focus from today. If we’re not careful, these distractions will quietly drain our energy and rob us of the ability to walk fullyContinueContinue reading “The Trap of Distraction”
