  • Holy Lament vs. Spiritual Bypassing:

    Why Suppressing Pain Isn’t Biblical Obedience ​We have all seen the narrative: if you are carrying hurt, disappointment, or anger, you are failing your faith.

  • When the Veil Drops:

    Stop Stressing the Accord ​Why do we spend so much energy trying to force outcomes, stress over the blueprint, and push our own timing?

  • The Danger of the Unopened Door:

    How Assumptions Lead Us Astray ​We’ve all been there.

You’re operating in a state of spiritual dehydration, and that is exactly when we start reaching for the wrong things to survive.We try to drink away the pressure, smoke away the noise, and… Read more

  • The Physics of a Full Cup:

    What Are You Holding Down? ​We often pray for the Lord to “fill our cup until it runs over,” but have you ever stopped to consider what is already taking up space in your vessel? ​Think about the biology of it for a second. Our bodies are made up of mostly water. We are the… Read more

  • The Paradox of the Climb:

    Finding the High Road in the Low Valley ​There is a profound mystery in how life handles us. We often think that moving “up” in life requires a constant, aggressive climb, but the reality of the spirit tells a different story. Something happens when life puts you through the fire, it doesn’t just test you;… Read more
