2025 Ministry Reflections
It’s always a good practice to take time at the beginning of each year to look back on the previous year and see how God worked. When I made the job transition from full time church ministry to full time Christian education, I had no idea what things would be like. I knew enough toContinueContinue reading “2025 Ministry Reflections”
Reading the Bible is GOOD for you!
Something that really grows my faith is that Scripture points to our reality. The writings in the Bible aren’t vague ideas and wishful thinking, but they directly connect to our lives.

Idolatry Doesn’t Work
The truths in Scripture align with reality, which is why it works! The Bible is not only a unified story that leads to Jesus, but it’s also a roadmap for life. When we place ourselves in the story and correctly apply it to our lives, it works. So, when Scripture speaks against something, we mustContinueContinue reading “Idolatry Doesn’t Work”

Avoiding Extremes
My Bible reading plan currently has me in Ecclesiastes. I’m not sure if you’ve ever read this book, but it’s not usually the go-to for daily encouragement! However, I’ve found myself really enjoying it more than I expected. I’ve been slowing down and trying to get to the WHY behind these writings. This book isContinueContinue reading “Avoiding Extremes”
