What Does My Waiting Reveal?
Waiting has a way of revealing more than we expect. In seasons of delay, we often discover what we truly believe about God's character, our own hearts, and the difference between trusting Him and trying to rush His timing. Read more...

The Discomfort of Obscurity
Obscurity has a way of revealing what we've been relying on.

Navigating Seasons of Loneliness

You're Not Stuck. You're Double-Minded.
Sometimes the hardest part of moving forward isn’t the decision itself, but the constant emotional recalibration that comes with weighing every possible outcome. This reflection explores double-mindedness, fear, overthinking, and the quiet ways uncertainty keeps us standing still long after we’ve already made up our minds. Read more...
God Is Healing You In Places No One Sees
I remember being around 11 or 12 and my brother and I riding our bicycles up and down our street, racing each other. More than the fun, I remember falling off my bike and skinning my knee so badly that it hurt to extend my leg. It felt like it took forever for my knee to heal, and once it did, every time I got on that bike, I was in kneepads, elbow pads, and a helmet. I felt like I couldn’t trust myself on my bike without them. Thinking... Read more...
Signs Unhealed Emotions Are Affecting Your Daily Life
I remember hearing a story some years ago about identical twin men who, during an interview, were asked about their family life. When asked how one of them could be an alcoholic and the other to have never had a drink, they both said it’s because their father was an alcoholic.   How Unhealed Emotions Shape Our Responses In life, there is no such thing as a neutral position. Our support or dislike of something influences every decision we make. More important than our feelings about a thing is the... Read more...
Signs You're Outgrowing Your Old Life
Submitting to God’s call for your life itself is not that difficult. Yes, what He tasks us with sometimes may seem far-fetched if not impossible, but deep down we know that He’s more than able to help us walk it out. What we object to, however, is the changes that are required both in and around us when we say ‘yes’.  We resist these changes because, regardless of how destructive, draining, or distracting a thing, person, or habit is, we’ve become so comfortable with their presence that we view amputation...

Why Obedience to God Requires Structure
Consistency Becomes Difficult When Results Feel Delayed I have no clue how Noah did it. I travelled for four days last week, and that completely upended my writing schedule. I had to fight to reorient my mind to return to my newly established routine. Noah was committed to the same task for decades despite the distractions and interruptions happening around him. Not to mention the fact that he was building for something he’d never seen. It had never rained on Earth. Scripture tells us the ground was watered through mist... Read more...
Why We Delay What God Has Already Confirmed
As believers and children of God, we know His voice. As our relationship with Him develops, we become better at hearing and trusting His voice. We know when He speaks, and we know when He’s leading us. The only reason we question His instructions is that they challenge us in ways we’re not comfortable with. This discomfort is a product of one thing: fear. We often view fear as a broad emotion, preventing us from identifying its root and surrendering it to Him. God never provides an instruction that contradicts... Read more...
Recognizing Spiritual Avoidance in Your Life
The drift into avoidance is subtle. We’re often shocked when we see the fruit of it in our lives. It’s so interesting the way we make use of God’s perfect character when it suits us. We use it as a tool of condemnation to judge those around us whose lives seem to fall short, but for ourselves, it becomes a scapegoat. After all, God is perfect; therefore, my answer to His call must also be done in perfection. Newsflash: He’s perfect, but in our natural state, in this earthly vessel,... Read more...
