How do You Find Community?
God’s Word encourages us to spur one another on. He knows we benefit from meeting together. We accomplish more together. There are so many benefits of being in community. We’re more likely to stay focused, persevere, and complete the goals we set. We’re less likely to be discouraged too. Yet, we need to be vulnerable …

Just Do It: Start with Your People
I’ve been encouraged three times this week from three different sources to do two things. Now, I’ve said this before, but it’s worth saying again. When God wants to get my attention, He presents it to me three times from three different sources, and usually in a very short timeframe. This week, I heard a …

Sabbatical Surrender
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve kind of been on sabbatical from writing. The LORD has been pretty adamant I not write much for quite some time now. Since December 1, 2018, I’ve written a total of three blog posts. Friends, this has been intentional as the LORD has been working in and …

How to Get Out of a Funk
I’m pretty sure everyone gets in a funk from time to time. I think it’s important to know how to handle our funk especially during difficult seasons in our lives, like the unemployment season, the transitional season, the holiday season, the waiting season, the wedding-planning season, the sickness season, the final exams season.

Deeply Rooted: Day 29
Did you know there’s a difference between belief and faith? Faith includes both trusting and believing. In Hebrews 11:1, the Bible tells us, “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Matthew Henry’s Commentary says that faith “is a firm persuasion and expectation that God will perform all …

Deeply Rooted: Day 28
One of my favorite people in the Bible is King David. In today’s video I explain a significant thing about David that made him stand out to God. As we deepen our faith, I hope we choose to be like David. May we also stand out to God. Scripture 1 Samuel 16:7 1 Samuel 13:14 …
