One of the outward signs of our internal walk with Christ is a changed life. Looking for and recognizing change is a sort of litmus test when it comes to evaluating our spiritual wellbeing, and looking that expectation in the face can be daunting. Have I changed? Can I change? What would that even […]

You’re not alone. We tend to hear that most when we’re down or when we’re afraid, and sometimes it can come across as one of those pithy sayings when it’s difficult to believe. It’s hard to believe that you’re not alone sometimes, especially when the God who says He’s with you is silent and invisible.  […]

Have you ever worried that you’re not close enough to God because you haven’t felt as spiritual as you think you should? It’s a place we’ve probably all been at one point or another—when our spirituality “lacks” because we haven’t been reading our Bible as much, or praying as constantly as we should. There are […]

As we walk through life, God commands us to walk on the path that is straight and narrow, while others choose the wider path that’s easier to follow, but much less rewarding. I imagine it to be like a deer path through the woods—smaller, narrower, and harder to see than the path that everyone else […]

People often ask their heroes how they got to where they are. We look at success stories with stars in our eyes and long to know the secret to achieving our goals and becoming like those we look up to. More times than not, the secret to success lies in years of striving and […]

The Bible describes our lives as races (1 Corinthians 2:4, Hebrews 12:1, 2 Timothy 4:7), calling us to run toward God, to persevere and finish strong. We are told that at the end of this race is our eternal prize, and we know that we will benefit from a race we have run with […]

We live in the age of distraction. I feel like its most days there’s no way to stop the constant onslaught of things competing for our attention. Between our social media feeds, constant text conversations, or the 3,000 or more ads we see every day, there’s hardly a moment thats not fighting for our focus. Theres […]

Do you know the feeling of spinning your wheels but going nowhere? Usually it’s a “season of waiting” to get from one life stage to the next, to progress into a dream and a future you are called to. But have you ever considered that where you are right now is exactly what you are called […]

What is a moment worth? With so many moments and so many days, it’s too easy to lose perspective because “there’s always tomorrow,” and the only time we seem to realize that there isn’t always a tomorrow is when something tragic occurs, and we realize just how much worth a moment has.  But then, unfortunately, […]

Some of the most painful points in life are times of transition and change—graduating from college to join the work force, getting married, moving, or having children.  Even when change is for the better, it is seldom easy.   Adjustments can be disheartening and painful—it is the price of change. It may cause us […]
