Paul writes to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:7, “for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” The command to not fear is all throughout Scripture. From Israel going into battle completely outnumbered, to the wind and the waves of a storm about to capsize a boat. Do […]
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.

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 where the term “preachy” has taken on negative connotations, it’s easy to shy away from sharing our faith. We might prefer to let our actions speak for themselves, hoping others will notice our good deeds and ask about the source of our inspiration. But is this approach truly in line with the […]
In our journey of faith, we often focus on the grand moments – the miracles, the revelations, the transformative experiences. 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 […]
