Seeking repentance is an ongoing part of the Christian walk. The bible explains that our unforgiveness and unrepentant state, prevents our prayers from being heard. Jesus calls for repentance as an essential response to the coming of God's kingdom — not just sorrow for sin, but a radical reorientation of life. Seeking forgiveness and repenting from that sin by changing our mind on how we thought…
Our stories are the training ground God uses for His glory. He uses what broke us to birth empathy in us Your story is so meaningful because it comes through places you though you wouldn’t ever recover from. Romans 8:28 calls for in all things God works for the good of those who love Him. We don’t go through these trials just to move on. We go through them to move others. The devil would love…
This is an area of discipleship I believe we are called and commanded to do. Its the one area that God says, test me in this. Let me show you that when you fully trust me, I am worthy of your trust. Not in a do this and God does that. Its a posture. Its a position of surrender before the Lord to seek Him and what He desires you to do, not because of what I am saying, but ask Him Lord is this an…
This rest is necessary. We have so many habits and addictions waiting to devour us and we need to have rest physically and digitally from what can potentially overtake us. There are even so many opportunities for us to sin with the access that we have digitally. Opportunity to covet. Opportunity to lust. Opportunity to put trust in man or self. Opportunity to fear. Opportunity to feel insecure.…
If you want your words to carry power, you have to stop speaking like a beggar and start praying like a BELIEVER.I think so often, we talk TO God and not WITH God. So often we forget that its a two way relationship. A two way conversation and that just as much as God desires to hear from us, He also desires that we hear from Him. Stop praying uncertain prayers about things God has already promised…
Is this God's plan for your life? A book you read over and over again? A book you study every single day? A book He wrote for you. A book that transcends time. A book that will speak to whatever you are going through at any given time that will give you wisdom and discerment on how to raise your kids, to take that job or not take that job. To buy a home or not buy a home. Should you forgive and…
When I think back on my deepest formed relationships in life and how they were developed it is abundantly clear that those relationships developed by investing time in one another. We can spend time with people and then we can invest time with people. When we invest in a deeply connected manner we yield a return on our investment. When we spend time, I see it as the more superficial experiences…
The purest form of courage is to rescue other people. We all need rescuing from time to time and its important that we see ourselves as usable by God for the benefit of his kingdom and for his glory.

So many of us go around in life in our day to day activities with surface level questions, answers and conversations. I have learned that we can validate each other in our humanity when we are honest with ourselves, Honest with God (who knows it all anyway) and with others. Most people have a narrative and that narrative says we are the only one. And that simply is not true. When we think and feel…
There is a narrative we are told and sold about what our lives are supposed to look like and then there is what God’s word says. I don’t know about you, but I recommend actively pursuing more of what matters - specifically what it looks like to be making disciples. This is a topic that once you gain that clarity, you can and should operate your days with more peace and confidence. Spiritual Gifts…
