  • 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

  • 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. When we truly grasp the sacred assignment He gave Read more

  • Am I Not Holy Enough?”

    The Lie of the ‘Perfect Christian’ on Social Media ​Lately, I’ve been thinking deeply about the quiet, constant pressure in many faith communities: the unspoken rule that a true Christian’s life should only be shared in a clean, polished, happy highlight reel. We are often led to believe that our faith is only strong if Read more

  • Feeling Under Attack?

    When the Enemy Whispers “Quit,” God Says “Continue.” ​Hey God’Sip and Tea fam, ​Can we just be real for a moment? Lately, I’ve been feeling a pressure so intense, it’s like a spiritual weight pressing down on my chest. It’s the kind of pressure that makes you want to throw in the towel, delete all Read more

  • When Correction Becomes Condemnation

    ​Scripture isn’t a sword for ego; it’s a scalpel for healing (Hebrews 4:12). The way we treat, seek out, and speak to one another is where the danger lies. When we lose compassion in our interactions, our words—spoken or written—risk becoming mere commentary more than genuine correction. ​For those in positions of leadership or influence, Read more

  • Impact vs Influence

    ​”Influence” Is Just a Distraction from Our Purpose ​We all know what an influencer is. They’re the people with the big followings, the perfectly curated feeds, and the power to get us to buy that new pair of sneakers or try the latest coffee trend. An influencer’s value is often measured in likes, clicks, and Read more

  • God’s Love Made Tangible: Lessons from My Spiritual Mother

    You know that feeling when you’re all grown up, but your mom still calls to make sure you ate? That’s love, but it’s also a sign that her job’s not quite done. It’s a bit like our relationship with the church. We often think of the church as just a building, but what if she’s Read more

  • A Sip of Truth in a Divided Time: When Grief Crosses the Aisle

    Lately, the news has been hitting a little different. It’s not about who’s right or who’s wrong anymore, but something in my spirit knows—this is bigger than politics. This is about life. About breath. This is about the image of God in every human being. ​When someone’s life is taken, especially in a public and Read more

  • The Body Remembers: Finding Grace in Our Wounds

    Life moves on. The mind and soul might begin to heal, but the body—that’s a different story. It holds onto the past, a silent witness to every hurt and every wrong. For those of us who have walked through deep pain, this is a truth we feel in our bones. We can pray, go to Read more

  • The Uneven Ledger

    What she went through was nothing compared to what she did to me. But who is keeping the score? This question gets to the heart of what I’ve come to call “the uneven ledger” the biased way we account for our relationships. People tend to forget what they do to others, but they never forget Read more
