“Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it." - Isaiah 8:12 The words of Isaiah 8:12 have been a source of both direction and comfort for me over the past three years as I've found myself in a new environment. Where fear threatened to swallow me whole, this verse offered me something different to hold on to and a way to overcome fear with faith. On this rainy morning, as I'm sitting down with a candle flic

A few weeks ago we sang an old hymn at church with the lyrics, "He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock". It moved me. I understood the words I was singing but only to a certain extent until I delved deeper into the Scripture it's based on. Join me for a short devotional reflection on Exodus 33:12-23 to discover what it means that God hides you in the cleft of the rock and how it affects the way we walk out our faith. May you find space here to pause, reflect, and abide. O

Some say that the modern world is the most individualistic society that has ever lived. Instead of a worldview where each person sees themselves as being part of a forest; each one sees themselves as a tree. People value self-expression and personal success over being a part of something.

My step-by-step guide for ministry leaders who want outreach that is not just effective, but sustainable For some reason most Christian outreach & mission ideas are short-lived, and they often come at the expense of the person who felt it on their heart. Outreach often burns bright but fades quickly when systems, rhythms, and people are not supported. Why do we lose vision? How do we prevent burnout? And what can we do to ensure the ministry has a lasting impact? As someone w

My step-by-step guide for navigating the moments when life shifts with faith I feel like I have been many people: a daughter, a sister, a student, a wife, and now a mother. Life changes whether we take note of it or not, but God is developing us all the while. I worked in ministry for a few years, studied what faith practically looks like, and then He made me a writer so that I could share this with you. Life transitions refer to seasons of change such as uncertainty, emotion

It's been a while since I wrote about disembodied VS embodied faith on here, but it's been coming up a lot lately. Earlier this week, the idea that faith isn't emotional denial came to mind and it prompted me to also make it practical, tying it to a Biblical person by writing on how Nehemiah wept before he built. In this blog post I will make the case for what I understand as "embodied faith" because I'm finding that the opposite leads to a disconnected form of religion. When

My step-by-step guide for ministry leaders who want to build people, not just programs Many ministry leaders are never actually trained for leadership—they are simply placed into it. As someone who grew up in the church, has worked in ministry, and been in various roles through the years - there are some things I've picked up along the way. God equipped me to lead others well, learn about this at Uni, and then He made me a writer so that I can share it with you. This Christia

While the Bible is the best voice to follow and the leading of the Holy Spirit, there are some practical points every person will reach as they journey from A to Z (with the destination being To Know Him). Christian growth is not random—it follows a pattern: we begin with belief, move into identity, grow in relationship, develop awa

"You have not because you ask not" - James 4:2 This week I've been thinking about the actions that come before miracles - whether it's surrender, asking, prayer, sharing, gratitude...
