Finding Jesus more each day

True leadership begins in the presence of God. Based on 1 Timothy 2:1–8, this post unpacks how prayer isn’t preparation—it’s leadership. Learn to lead with surrendered hearts, gospel-centered intercession, and holy hands. Before you lead others, kneel for them. This is prayer that shapes a generation.
Elijah’s confrontation on Mount Carmel exemplifies unwavering faith amid cultural opposition. In 1 Kings 18, he challenges 450 false prophets to demonstrate God’s power. His story encourages Christians today to stand firm in their beliefs, rooted in truth, while being gracious, bold, and obedient, despite facing potential backlash.
Mother’s Day is a time of joy for many—but for others, it’s complicated. It stirs a deep gratitude, yes, but also grief, longing, or even questions that don’t have easy answers. In Scripture, we meet two women whose stories help us hold both ends of that emotional spectrum: Hannah, the mother of Samuel, and Mary, the mother of Jesus. These women knew the indescribable joy of receiving a child—and the unspeakable ache… Read More
As I reflect on my own life, I know it hasn’t always been attractive. I know I’ve failed at times, not always prioritizing growth in my faith. I’ve ignored the wisdom and insight of those older and wiser than me because I was full of myself. I have lacked integrity, making decisions and living my life in a way that felt good in the moment. I think we have all been there, and to some degree may still find ourselves there still. Following Jesus isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress. It’s about growing in our relationship with Jesus, and allowing His transformative power to reflect through us.
The encounter between Jesus and the Woman at the well beautifully exemplifies the perfect balance of love and holiness. Jesus showed compassion, acceptance, and forgiveness while also calling her to a transformed life.
At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent envoys with letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered. And Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. And he showed them his treasure house, the silver, the gold, the spices, the precious oil, his whole armory, all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his house or in all his realm that Hezekiah did… Read More
I’ve been stuck reflecting on the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 17, bringing the widow’s son back to life. Elijah is one of the most prominent Prophets we encounter in Scripture, finding him referenced even in the New Testament. At one point, we learn in the New Testament that some thought Jesus was Elijah. His ministry and influence in the nation of Israel were noteworthy, to say the least. 1 Kings… Read More
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed or not, but this tends to be a busy time of year for most people. Hosting, planning, buying, shopping…and somewhere in that business we often get lost in, we try to spend time with family, get enough sleep, and maybe even travel a little. Busy this time of year looks different for everyone, but the truth is most of us find ourselves busier than we’d like…. Read More
Throughout Scripture we find at different times, the people of God going before Him in prayer. We get a glimpse into the spiritual condition and desires of those seeking after God, and I believe in each situation there is something of great value for us to learn. The prayer of King Hezekiah in light of Assyria’s apparent invasion is one that captivates me. 15 And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord: 16 “O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, enthroned… Read More
As I finished the book of Job in the Old Testament, there was a passage in Job’s confession and repentance to God that stuck out to me. “I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” Job 42:5-6 Job had just finished hearing an answer from the Lord, an answer that came in a… Read More
