Why the Bible Still Matters: Living Every Word
We live in a world drowning in voices, opinions, and hot takes. Every scroll, every headline, every conversation seems to tell us what to believe, what to feel, and what to do. But beneath all the noise, one voice stands apart: the voice of God in the Bible.
When God Shakes a Church
We all know prayer matters. But if we’re honest, most of our prayers stay in one of two lanes: Basecamp prayers – asking God to meet personal needs. Worship prayers – asking to draw closer to His presence.
Making Much of Jesus: A Life Reoriented by Grace
We live in a world that constantly pulls at our attention. Every day, something else competes for our loyalty—our jobs, our goals, our screens, even good things like family and friendships. But over all that noise, there’s a clear, compelling call from Scripture: make much of Jesus.

We’ve all wished for a reset button. A chance to go back, choose differently, and clean up the mess we made. Whether it’s a moment of weakness, rebellion, or regret, something in us longs for a fresh start. The good news is, God is a God of second chances. The story of Jonah reminds us that failure doesn’t disqualify us. It positions us for grace.
Mercy in the Depths: How God Meets Us in Our Lowest Moments

When Running Fails: How Jonah Teaches Us to Surrender
Have you ever asked God for direction—then rejected the answer because it wasn’t what you wanted? You’re not alone. Many of us long for God’s guidance… until it confronts our comfort, challenges our preferences, or calls us into unfamiliar territory. That’s exactly where we find Jonah—not just running from a place, but resisting a posture of surrender.
When Grace Goes First: The Hard and Holy Work of Reconciliation
We live in a world fractured by blame, division, and mistrust. From broken families to online feuds to church splits, relationships often rupture more easily than they’re repaired. But the gospel offers a better way—a way marked not by bitterness or silence, but by reconciliation.
Set Free: The Transforming Power of Forgiveness
In today’s culture, bitterness is everywhere. From online arguments to fractured relationships, we’re often encouraged to hold grudges, cancel people, and protect ourselves at all costs. Forgiveness? That’s seen as weakness—something optional, even foolish.
The True Father: Healing, Discipline, and Reconciliation Through God’s Love
Fatherhood is a complex journey—filled with joy, frustration, confusion, and growth. But beyond our earthly experience of fatherhood lies a deeper truth: God as our True Father.

Trust in the Pit: When God’s Plan Doesn’t Make Sense
Life rarely unfolds the way we imagine. One minute we feel secure, and the next, we’re stuck in a metaphorical pit—confused, hurting, and wondering where God is in it all. The story of Joseph offers us a raw, honest look at how God moves through life’s most painful detours—and how we can still trust Him even when everything feels like it’s unraveling.
Faith: The Bridge from Anxiety to Peace
We love to plan. Whether it’s jotting lists, building spreadsheets, or mapping out life in bullet points, we crave the sense of control planning brings. We organize our schedules, chart our careers, and try to predict every curveball life might throw. We plan because we think if we’re prepared enough, we can avoid chaos.
The Power of God’s Presence in Overcoming Anxiety

Anxiety: The Alarm of the Heart and Mind
In our modern world, we find ourselves living in the "anxious generation." Despite having access to more medicine, health information, resources, and safety than ever before, anxiety disorders affect at least 50 million people. But what if anxiety isn't the real problem? What if it's merely an alarm, signaling that something in our lives needs attention?

Victory in Jesus: Finding Hope in a World of Defeat
In a world where defeat often feels like the norm, where stress, struggle, and worry seem to be constant companions, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and stuck.

But what if there was a different perspective? What if, despite the appearances, victory was already ours?
The Root of True Fulfillment
Have you ever felt like you're constantly chasing after the next big thing, hoping it will finally bring you lasting satisfaction? Like a plant uprooting itself in search of better soil, we often find ourselves jumping from one pursuit to another, always thinking the grass might be greener somewhere else.
Two Paths, One Choice: Navigating Life’s Journey with Wisdom
Life often feels like a complex maze of decisions, twists, and turns. We find ourselves at crossroads, faced with choices that can shape our future.
