In a world more digitally connected than ever, loneliness is on the rise. Technology makes communication easy, but it cannot replace real, face-to-face connections. This post explores how to prioritize genuine relationships and embrace spontaneous moments that truly fill our lives.
A heartfelt tribute to Brother Jake Royer, reflecting on his faith, worship, and lasting impact as a friend who lived to honor Jesus.
This week, I released my new book and reflected on personal relationships, emphasizing self-worth. I’ve learned to prioritize those who genuinely value me over those who don’t. Understanding love languages is crucial for meaningful connections. It’s essential to release unsupportive relationships and trust God to bring the right people into your life.
Why do we discourage young people from desiring leadership roles in ministry? This post challenges the gatekeeping culture around platforms and microphones in the church, calling for true spiritual formation, mentorship, and wisdom to equip the next generation for God’s call.
In just over a month as a Digital Content Producer, I’ve enjoyed writing, managing social media, and growing our Instagram following significantly. Emphasizing team success over individual recognition, I appreciate the creative freedom and growth opportunities my role offers. Each assignment contributes to my personal development, reinforcing the importance of collaboration and consistency.
I am reflecting on what it means to grow beyond my past, especially while coming from a small, familiar environment. I have faced moments of being misunderstood and even criticized by people who barely know me anymore. But I have come to see that growth often makes others uncomfortable. Still, I choose to stay focused on my purpose and keep moving toward the opportunities ahead.
The post discusses the nature of conditional surrender to God, emphasizing that true surrender should not have limitations or “buts.” It draws parallels to Jesus’ unconditional sacrifice and challenges believers to fully commit their lives, exemplified by missionaries David and Natalie Lloyd, who embraced risk for their faith without drawing lines in the sand.
Spiritual battles aren’t meant to be fought alone—we’re called to stand together. Just look at Paul and Timothy! Their relationship shows us how mentorship and community help us stay strong when faith gets tough. The key? Lean into God’s grace, stay focused by avoiding distractions, and follow His strategies to overcome whatever challenges come your way.
The Bible paints a powerful picture of light and darkness, and at the heart of it is Jesus’ mission to bring salvation and hope. This message reminds us how important faith is and challenges preachers to share the Gospel with boldness—while staying grounded in humility and compassion. It also encourages personal reflection, accountability, and a willingness to repent as we walk toward God’s truth.
