Investing Your Inheritance
Instead of desperately clutching our inheritance for ourselves, we have an opportunity to freely invest in others what we’ve been freely given…
Read MorePassionate Purpose
Deep down, we all long to know, “Does God have a particular purpose for me, something I’m uniquely created to do?” We each have at least three areas of uniqueness—talents, spiritual gifts, and life experiences—that God flows through to fulfill our purpose or calling. God can use our gifts in any combination He chooses, in any given season…
Read MoreSmashing Strongholds
Sometimes spiritual growth can get a bit messy. And to some degree, it’s supposed to. Yet when an area of difficulty persists over time, it’s possible we might be dealing with a spiritual stronghold.
Read MoreRedeeming Relationships
As a disciples of Jesus, our new identity springs from our relationship with Him. So it’s only logical that the transformational process of following Him would spill over into our human relationships as well. In this post, we’ll briefly explore the kinds of relational shifts that tend to occur during discipleship.
Read MoreLiving Like a King’s Daughter
As your Heavenly Father’s treasured daughter, you are the absolute apple of His eye. But by earthly standards, this may sound way too good to be true…
Read MoreWish-I-Knew Basics
When we came to Christ, many of us were given clear instruction on salvation, yet little-to-no instruction on how to live out that salvation practically. As a result, we spend many unnecessary years wondering, Why isn’t this faith thing working for me like it does for others? Yet Christianity isn’t broken—what’s broken is the way…
Read More“Mastering” the Daily
Today I’m gonna share some thoughts on what I like to call “mastering” the daily. Simply put, it’s a way of learning to surrender to Jesus and connect with Him all throughout the day: whether you have 10, 20, or 60 focused minutes to spend with Him each morning. I hope these ideas will stretch…
Read MoreIDENTITY IN CHRIST
What if our search for identity started with what God thinks of us?
Read MoreTHE DISCIPLINE OF DELIGHT
The past few weeks I’ve found myself thinking a lot about a process I call the discipline of delight. Though I realize these two words tend to be opposites, somehow the idea of smashing them together in a single concept has become more and more intriguing to me. For most of us, the word discipline…
Read MoreCONNECTION: THE KEY TO GROWTH
In honor of the “Known” virtual conference I’m honored to be part of October 10-31, I’m re-posting a couple of previous blogs that particularly relate to the theme of that conference. Being deeply known by God and others is SO vital to our spiritual growth…in fact, it’s right at the very heart of it! Ever find yourself growing spiritually stale? Maybe even stagnant?…
Read MoreLETTING MY SOUL CATCH UP…
A week into the quarantine, I knew something was wrong. Granted, the whole world was in shock and feeling overwhelmed, yet my amped out thoughts had long since passed “overwhelmed” and were now careening their way toward full-on freak out. But why??? At first I wasn’t sure. Then it dawned. Oh no, oh no, oh…
Read MoreIs Your God Wifi Working?
Ever feel like there’s a disconnect in your relationship with God? A while ago, I loaded up a song on Spotify and hit play, but nothing happened. So I hit play again. Still nothing. Then I reloaded the song. You guessed it. Nothing. Suddenly I realized…oh duh, I’m not connected to wifi! Sometimes we do that…
