  • 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

  • Volun-Chosen: The Power of Acting on God’s Certainty

    A Shared Truth: Why We Get Stuck ​The saying “Actions speak louder than words” isn’t just a tough motto; it’s a painful truth I’ve lived. I’ve known what it is to have absolutely nothing, and now I’m navigating a world where resources seem endless. ​What I’ve seen in both worlds is heartbreaking: Too many people… Read more

  • Thanksgiving: The Wilderness I Chose Over the Cage

    Thanksgiving. We are conditioned to picture warmth, a huge table, and the secure presence of family. But for some of us, that image is a cruel joke. For a broken, abused child, seeking comfort and restoration, the holiday only serves to illuminate the deepest, most painful truth: I had to run away from the place… Read more

  • The Glory Mission:

    When Lowliness Becomes the Light ​It’s understandable how easily we get caught up in the pressure of perfection. In a world saturated with filters and curated appearances, the struggle to ignore the mirror is real. We feel that weight. ​But friends, we must shift our focus.

  • The Agony, the Scar, and the Sanctuary of the Believer

    ​Sip the Tea and Find the Truth ​Let’s be honest, we’ve all been there. You’re in a moment of true, gut-wrenching agony, the kind that makes your flesh scream, and you cry out to God. Maybe you use foul language. Maybe you lash out in desperation. And then, the fear settles in: Did I just… Read more

  • The Oil That Cannot Be Borrowed:

    Why Unseen Work Matters ​In a culture obsessed with immediate visibility and effortless spirituality, the lines between true faith and worldly fanfare are dangerously blurred. We look for quick, visible wins, but genuine discipleship demands a profound, costly commitment, a way of life that operates far from the spotlight and often goes completely unrecognized. This… Read more

  • The Hidden Cost of “Help”

    Why My Success Made Them Judge ​Sometimes, the hardest part of surviving struggle isn’t the cold or the hunger; it’s the moral judgment of the people who are supposed to be helping you. ​I know this first-hand. I was homeless until 19. Along that brutal path, I met many people who were tasked with offering… Read more

  • Hurt as a Holy Compass

    ​Let’s pull up a chair, friends, and dive into the “God’Sip” for today. ​I’ve been reflecting deeply on the paradox of emotional maturity. You put in the hard work, the kind of soul-deep work that comes from having to build your own foundation, and you finally reach a place of clear emotional intelligence (EQ). You… Read more

  • Why I Pour Grace for Those Who Tried to Break Me

    ​There’s a kind of cruel drama some people love to inflict: the moment they realize they’re in the wrong, they quickly flip the script and try to make you the villain. ​I know what that feels like. I’ve been in situations where I spoke a truth that needed to be heard, only to be met… Read more

  • The Cost of Grace: Unboxing the Unqualified

    ​I know what it’s like to be utterly dismissed and unseen. For years, I was just a label—a runaway kid with no identity, living in a void. My suffering was so heavy, so silent, that the only time it became visible was in a hospital bed or behind the locked doors of a psychiatric ward.… Read more
