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. This is the case because the Bible was written by regular people (yet inspired by God), to regular people like you and me atContinueContinue reading “Reading the Bible is GOOD for you!”

“God, give me wisdom.”
Prayer is such a gift! Being able to communicate with the God of the universe is unlike anything else. Anyone can cry out to God at any time, but those that know God personally through a relationship with His Son Jesus can not only talk to God, but have His help to know what toContinueContinue reading ““God, give me wisdom.””

These days, I try to focus more on the quality of what I read, rather than the quantity of how much I read. Most of the books I readContinueContinue reading “My Favorite Books in 2024”

It was such an honor to get to know Dr. Eric Johnson last month at the Mental Health & the Church Conference. Not only did I enjoy hearing him speak, but I enjoyed several conversations with him about life, ministry and soul care. The main focus of his talk was about the importance of theContinueContinue reading “Attunement & The Heart”
