Do I Really Get To Live Without Fear?
Fear will rise up in us. But we don’t have to grab hold of it. We can let it rise with a victorious release.
Struggling to Choose Peace
Maybe in this moment, unity is to be entangled, to say, “I accept your loose ends. I accept what you are working through.”
Everything for Good
I waste a lot of time simply not trusting God. I use a lot of energy rehearsing ways to keep my grasp, get a grip, and salvage some sort of control over my circumstances.
A Loving Voice
He is infinitely more patient with me than I am with myself. While I am busy throwing a tantrum in my inner world, He is watching and waiting.
The Beauty of Becoming
The Christian life - a constant dance of death and life - and the celebration and the mourning of both.
There is More
We know that Christ came to turn the tables, flip the script, tear the veil and reveal a kingdom - a kingdom glistening with hope.
Brighter and Clearer
We come to Him - flickering and fighting, covered in dust and darkness - and He wipes us clean, so that we may shine again, brighter and clearer.
Shaking and Surrender
It is kingdom-minded to recycle, compost, carpool, and consume mindfully. We are building toward eternity.
Cloaked in Promise
We are cloaked in His promises day and night. And this is our truth as we continue to walk in the mysteries of the Spirit.
The Depths
The deep places are certainly uncertain, completely counterintuitive, and absolutely terrifying. Follow His gaze, hold tight, and jump anyway.
A Worthy Pursuit
God does not want to go without us - without my little sold-out heart that beats for Him.
The Other Half of Humility
Yes, you are at the bottom. You are in the pit. But Christ, compelled by compassion, loves you and lifts you from it.
God’s Heart for the Oppressed
Jesus wiped the slate clean for all. He leveled the playing field for all. He is running for the hearts of all people. At the end of the day, can I say the same?
What does it mean to ‘grieve’ the Spirit?
God’s heart is for us. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is prompting us. The Holy Spirit is guiding us. The Holy Spirit is wooing us.
Even Still, Hope is Alive
But hope is alive. It’s after us. And it is not for the fool. It is not for the faint of heart. It does not put us to shame.
Election Week Prayer Guide
This week holds a lot of unknowns. I want to be committed to praying through the heaviness and the confusion.
An Ancient Response
In reading about ancient worship, I actually feel a pull to be more undignified. I feel full permission to take up space and be myself.
God is Sovereign
What does the sovereignty of God look like in the face of COVID-19? The swirling information, emotions, and opinions can easily start to close in. Everything feels out of control.
