Have you ever prayed to God and asked Him to show you which way to go? But really you knew which way you wanted to go and just wanted Him to give you what you wanted. Yep. Me, too. God gives us an example in the book of Jeremiah (Chapter 42) where the Israelites did the same thing, where they went wrong, and how we can do things differently.

30 years ago I experienced a very personal and amazing Independence Day. I came face-to-face with the all powerful, perfectly holy, and supremely righteous God. In that moment I became fully exposed. All the icky things in my heart, shameful actions, and sinful thoughts were laid bare before Him. I. Was. Wrecked. Then JESUS!!!! Listen in, and rejoice with me!

Have you ever hurt yourself pushing through a hard work out? Me too. There is a wisdom in how we push through spiritual weaknesses and challenges, and God tells us all about it in His Word!🙌🏽

I think Peter was the only disciple who failed after he already knew Jesus… I mean failed big! Knowing that and reading first and second Peter brings me so much encouragement and comfort! As I drove into my Jesus time today, I was so encouraged to read Peter‘s words of grace. Listen in to hear God’s sweet reminder through Peter to keep faith and effort in the right order💗

Join a really fun conversation with a very tired Isabel who just came back from LINC, (Laborers Impacting Nations for Christ) a summer project in Norfolk, Virginia. It was so interesting to hear her take-away from four weeks of concentrated boot camp Jesus time. I love how she is so honest and transparent!

Have you ever wondered why it’s the fruit of the spirit and not fruits of the spirit? There are nine qualities but a singular noun🤷🏻‍♀️. In my Jesus time, He showed me how these qualities are the result of one thing.

Growing up with an absent father, I had a lot of heart issues that were difficult and even a little damaging. When I met Jesus, He was so kind to re-father me. Just when I thought His redemption was complete, He shows me still more. I got to meet a brother I never knew existed, and God use that powerfully to heal parts of my heart I didn’t even know needed healing.

On our vacation, Frank and I ran into a HUGE protest. Hundreds of angry people (mostly women) holding pro-abortion signs and some anti- men signs broke my heart… until God showed me His presence and plan the following morning. If you are overwhelmed or discouraged by what our world or media promotes, listen in to hear God’s response.

Have you ever felt disconnected from God even though you were still faithfully engaged in the spiritual disciplines? Please listen in to hear how our sweet Savior connected with me after a season of blah. His presence blows my mind!

Jesus time with Isabel! You guys! My daughter asked me on a date and we are enjoying some treats at Amaretti‘s Bakery! Please listen to how God brought her through a very stormy season in her life and the lessons she learned from it.
