Sip the Tea and Find the truth

  • The Architecture of a Redeemed Will:

    Transforming Profound Suffering into Lasting Legacy ​There is a weight in this world that few truly understand. It is a burden felt not just in the mind, but deep within the spirit, the soul, and the very physical marrow. For those of us who have walked through the fire, there is a constant, exhausting tension:… Read more

  • The Savior Complex vs. The Success Story

    ​Why Your Healing Disrupts Their Narrative ​There is a specific kind of silence that follows a success story—not the silence of awe, but the silence of a disrupted expectation. When a person survives the unsurvivable the homelessness, abuse, and systemic neglect as a child, the world instinctively assigns them a role. It expects them to… Read more

  • The Armor of God:

    The Outkeep of the Soul vs. The Performance ​In this life, there is a performance being put on that would make a theater blush. It’s the performance of “innocence.” We’ve all seen it: the person with the soft voice, the wide-eyed “cluelessness,” and the constant use of the “naive card” to dodge accountability. They move… Read more

  • The Scribe’s Mandate:

    Writing as a Sacred Trust ​I do not write for applause, and I do not write to fill a page. I write because I am under a mandate. ​The Word of God is the ultimate standard because it is immutable; it is the same yesterday, today, and forever. As a writer and a teacher, my… Read more

  • Running from the Sufferance:

    ​How El Roi Found Me in the Chaos ​There is a profound difference between hearing a story and surviving one. ​When I tell people that Jesus is real, that He saved me and He keeps me! I often see a look of polite confusion in their eyes. They see the person standing here today, but… Read more

  • The Theology of the Runaway:

    ​From the Wilderness to the Remnant ​Pull up a chair and take a sip. We need to talk about a story we think we know, but through a lens most are too afraid to use. We often discuss the twelve-year-old boy in the Temple (Luke 2) as a perfect Sunday school lesson. We focus on… Read more

  • The 360 Restoration:

    Forgiveness Beyond the ‘Unrehabilitatable’ ​Welcome back to God’Sip and Tea. Today, we are pouring out a truth that is as heavy as it is healing. ​If you have ever walked through a fire that should have consumed you, you know that forgiveness isn’t just a “polite” suggestion. When you have survived abandonment, the kidnapping of… Read more

  • The Tea They Can’t Swallow:

    ​My Breath, His Words ​Pull up a chair. Let’s get real about the “God’Sip.” ​There’s a specific kind of look people give you when you’ve survived things that should have buried you. I know that look. I’ve seen it in the eyes of the “shaken in faith” and the “naysayers” who have read the Book… Read more

  • The Spore Effect:

    Why Good People Turn ​Today we’re getting into something that most people don’t want to talk about because it feels uncomfortable. We’re talking about the “Spore Effect.” You know, we spend so much time focusing on how to grow good fruit in our lives, joy, peace, humility, and gratefulness. We treat these attributes like they… Read more

  • The Flood, The Burial, and The Still Waters

    ​We see it all around us, a world that wants to look like it’s doing everything. People are singing, writing, and joining every ministry, trying to give the image that they are sacrificing so much. It looks like a lot of movement, but sometimes, beneath the surface, nothing is actually getting done. ​I want to… Read more
