Sip the Tea and Find the truth

#IronSharpensIron

  • The “Real” Tea:

    Grace is Easy, Love is Work ​Let’s stop playing church and start talking about the heart. Everyone has “Grace” for people when the lights are on. It’s easy to be polite and follow the social script of “treating people how you want to be treated”. But I’m looking at what happens when the conversation ends.… Read more

  • The Blindness of Self-Will and the Counterfeit Harvest

    ​There is a profound tension between self-preservation and surrender. For many who have navigated a world that felt predatory, the “will” becomes a defensive shield. But when we refuse to let anything take precedence over our own desires, we inadvertently develop a spiritual and emotional blindness. ​The Survival Trap ​When someone has experienced being a… Read more

  • Seven Days Without a Reset Makes One “Weak”

    There is a reason the enemy wants you exhausted. When the week drains you to the bone, you aren’t just tired—you’re vulnerable. 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

  • The Transcendental Map:

    Finding Grace in the Final Stage ​There is a profound, liberating peace that settles over the soul when you finally trade the weight of “fixing” for the power of Surrender. I have reached a point in my life where I have accepted that the change I desire for my children and my family is not… Read more

  • To My Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

    The Anointing in the Wilderness ​In the Word, we see a pattern that defies human logic. Before there is a throne, there is a field. Before there is a victory, there is a wilderness. ​We all know the story of David, but we often skip the part that hurts: the rejection. David was “marked off”… Read more

  • The Cost of a Stolen Vision

    The Tea is Bitter, but the Truth is Sweet ​There is a specific kind of hurt that comes when you open your heart to a “sister” and realize she was only there to take notes. ​When you’ve lived the life I’ve lived, running away, surviving the streets, my “strong exterior” becomes a target. People see… Read more

  • A Call to Clarity:

    Integrity and the Path of True Surrender ​To those seeking to walk the narrow path, we must be careful who we allow to draw the map. In a world of fear and confusion, it is easy to let the lines of our faith become blurred. ​We see guidance being offered that prioritizes human control over… 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
