Freedom begins when you accept you won’t be accepted by everyone. Even Jesus—the perfect Son of God—was rejected. Trying to do what He didn’t is a recipe for disappointment. Stop chasing approval and start resting in the One who will never turn you away.
When Your Fear is Louder Than Your Faith
Fear isn’t a sin or a sign you lack faith—it’s a reminder why you need it. Fear warns us something in our life needs attention. God doesn’t get angry at your fear—He wants to meet you in it. Faith doesn’t remove fear. It carries us through it.
The Problem Most Believers Don’t Want to Admit They Have
You can't have both Jesus and the world. The problem many believers have isn't our divided nation but our divided hearts. We try to look like culture while calling ourselves people of the cross. You can't live by the word and pursue the things of this world.
When Your Can’t Change Your Circumstances
One of the hardest parts of life is living with what you can’t change but wish you could. Sometimes faith means accepting what is—and trusting that God is still good in it. When you can't change your circumstances, let Jesus change you in them.
When One Busy Season Turns Into Another
Life doesn’t slow down — it stacks up. The finish line for our busy seasons keeps moving like a mirage in the Mojave. Someday may never come. Do what matters most with the only time you’ve been promised — today.
What Most Parents Get Wrong
Loving your kids doesn’t mean shielding them from every storm. It means preparing them to stand strong in it. Trees that never face the wind collapse under their own weight. Protect less. Prepare more.
