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.

Labrador retriever crouched in a dark alley, partially hidden in shadow, as it returns to its own vomit. The scene conveys secrecy and shame, with muted lighting and a somber atmosphere that visually reflects the message of Proverbs 26:11.

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.

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

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

I like to hear things that sound good. Things that don’t make me question, feel concerned or convicted. I like being in the majority, knowing what’s being said is supported by “the many”. That’s what I like. The problem is, often what I like and what God through His Word says is right are in conflict. In other words, what the culture and world say is “good and right” contradicts what Jesus… Read More

We expect the Spirit to operate within our parameters, but we have it backwards. He expects us to operate within His. When He says move, we move. When He says wait, we wait. When He says speak, we speak. When He says be silent, we close our mouth. He expects us to be obedient to His leading. To trust His leading. Instead of thinking I know best, trust that He does. How… Read More
