If you are anything like me, you have found yourself in a time where you are unsure what to do. Overwhelmed, and frustrated, battling the fear of making the wrong decision. The last thing I want to do… Continue reading It is Okay to Exhale.
Drop your defenses No one enjoys being corrected. I think back to when I was a child, and I would get in trouble with my parents. I would spend the afternoon pouting in my bedroom with hurt feelings often, becoming angry at my parents. We can do this to God when he corrects us too… Continue reading “Lessons from the Life of King Asa: A Story of Faith, Repentance, and God’s Faithfulness”
Hosea Recently I have been talking about spiritual detox. The process of letting God remove things from our lives that keep us apart from Him.

If Christ is not what gives you meaning and worth, then someone or something else is. The problem is that if what defines you is not eternal, like Christ, one day what defines you… Continue reading Know Whose you are.

In this new year, I have felt God speaking to me about walking in total surrender to Him. I want to talk about what I feel God telling me and what I am doing to obey what He has put on my heart. Before I do I want to preface this with these things that… Continue reading New Year, New Ways.
“… Yet you, O Lord, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name; do not leave us.” Jeremiah 14:9 We are all called by His name. We are called to walk in the world, but not be of it. But what happens when we take our eyes off Jesus. Today… Continue reading Called By His Name
Study method In Bible study on Thursday, we talked about the Hebrew word, Pardes. It is used by rabbis as an acronym for how to understand scripture. The four parts of Pardes are P’shat, Remez, Dirash, and Sod. P’shat—the meaning of the story on a surface level.
