One of my regular podcasts is Not Just Sunday with Patrick Miller and Keith Simon. Recently, they released an episode entitled “Social Media for Kids: What Christian Parents Should Know.” This piqued my interest as, over the last couple of years, I’ve read more and more about the harmful effects of social media on our culture. It takes at least a decade, usually […]
In a world that often seems unforgiving, the concept of “countless second chances” stands as a beacon of hope and grace. This idea, deeply rooted in biblical teachings, challenges us to look beyond our hurts and embrace a mindset of forgiveness that mirrors the very heart of God. The Power of Shaping Our Hearts At […]
In a world obsessed with accumulation and self-preservation, the concept of generosity can seem counterintuitive. Yet, as we delve deeper into the spiritual realm, we discover that generosity is not just a noble act – it’s a transformative force that shapes our hearts and aligns our lives with God’s purpose.

But what if one of the most powerful tools for sharing God’s love is something as simple as a shared meal or a cup of coffee? The concept of discipleship is at the heart of […]
