We’re called to be childlike, not childish. Stop pointing fingers—tend your own garden. Deal with the little foxes: judgment, bitterness, offense. God doesn’t change—His mercy still reigns. Don’t miss Jesus trying to be right. Let Him be God. Love well. Grow up.

Sometimes life doesn’t go as planned—and that’s okay. We fight to stay in control, but real peace comes from resting in God, not forcing our way. Discernment isn’t just spotting the enemy—it’s recognizing when it’s actually God redirecting us. Walk with Him.

How someone treats you isn’t your responsibility. How you respond is. Don’t let offense steal your Christ-nature. Every trial is a chance to look more like Jesus.

Cloudy mornings in the desert are beautiful—but today it’s already 80° at 6:18am. More than the weather, I’m reflecting on how easy it is to build identity around what we do. But God calls us to root who we are in Him—not in titles, roles, or platforms.

Renew your mind. Don’t brace for lack. Expect His goodness. Set your mind on things above—His mercy, His grace, His presence. He will show up.

The other day, I realized I was stressing myself out doing things God never asked me to do. He said “record the podcast,” and I added 10 extra tasks. Sometimes it’s not what we do, but how we do it. Rest matters. Focus matters. Let God be God.

Sometimes the Problem Isn’t Life—It’s Us

“Find love in the little things.” Healing doesn’t always come in thunder or miracles. Sometimes it’s in kindness with no agenda. No hooks. Just love. That’s where change begins.

People change—and that’s a good thing. Growth often comes through discomfort, pain, or even mustard-dipped chips. Don’t cling to stale, old bread when God’s offering something fresh. Let Him shape you, stretch you, and mature you into His image.

Run to the One who never changes.
