Every Wednesday for the past couple of months, I have attended a small group Bible study called “Freedom.” And it is changing my life. There have been times in the last year or so when everything hard in my life felt like spiritual attacks. Every struggle.Every consequence.Every uncomfortable situation. “The enemy is attacking.” And sometimes…

There was a time when I felt the need to explain everything. My choices.My intentions.My side of the story. If someone misunderstood me, I wanted to correct it.If someone judged me, I wanted to challenge it.If someone formed an opinion about me, I wanted to change it. Prove. Argue. Defend. Because I needed to be…

I know God is the God of the beginning. The fresh start.The moment something new begins.Alpha. And I know He’s the God of the end. The breakthrough.The resolution.The place where everything finally makes sense.Omega. But He’s the God of the middle, too. It’s not as easy to define, because it’s bigger. It takes up more…

There is a kind of faith that feels strong when prayers are answered quickly. Doors open.Situations change.Clarity comes. It’s easy to recognize that God is good when we can see what He’s doing. But there’s another kind of faith…the kind that is required when nothing changes. I have prayed the same prayer for 8 months.…

(Nobody else probably will find this interesting, but I’ve had my meds today, and I’m feeling good. So here goes…) A few months ago, I did a deep dive into the genealogy of Jesus. I wanted to know – from a historical perspective – how Adam became a baby in a manger. On first read,…

There’s a version of trust that feels easy. When things are going well.When prayers are being answered.When life makes sense. And it’s not hard to trust the Lord in those moments. But there is another version of trust that shows up for when we don’t like the situations we’re in. And that kind is more…

There’s a version of my life that exists right now that no one can really sees. Not because I’m hiding it, but because it isn’t loud. It isn’t obvious. It isn’t something someone could identify. It’s been a quiet build. Gradual. It’s built in small decisions. Not made of big moments, but smaller ones. Choosing…

I once equated “slipping” to failure. That if I found myself thinking the same thoughts, feeling the same burgers, leaning toward the same patterns, then nothing had really changed. But I don’t see it that way anymore. Slipping isn’t the same as going back. It’s often just a moment. What matters most is what I…

I talked yesterday about uncertainty…where I am in my life now. Why I don’t like the feeling of “not knowing.” I know that the Lord knows that. I tell Him all the time that I don’t like this. I don’t like not being able to plan. I don’t like not knowing what to do all…

I’m in a strange season right now. The kind where so many circumstances in my life feel…unsettled. Nothing is falling apart.Nothing is completely stable either. Just…uncertain. Things I can’t control.Things I can’t predict.Things for which I don’t have answers yet. And if I am being honest, I don’t love the way that feels. I like…
