From Empty to Full: The Better Life Jesus Offers
Most of us know what it feels like to chase fulfillment and come up empty. We set goals, build careers, raise families, and enjoy the good things of life, but still end up feeling like something is missing. It’s like grabbing at fog—you can see it, but you can’t hold it.
Living Free as Your Truest Self
Every person wears masks. Some are obvious, like costumes and roles. Others are subtle, like the way we hide behind success, status, or the pressure to look like we have it all together. What we long for, though, is to live unmasked. To have the life we live in private match the life we display in public, and for both to align with faith in Jesus.
Before the Beginning, There Was Jesus
The Gospel of John opens with one of the most staggering truths in all of Scripture: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). Unlike the other gospel writers, John doesn’t start with Bethlehem or Nazareth. He takes us all the way back before time began to remind us that Jesus has always existed.
The Grace That Puts You Back on Your Feet
John 21 gives us a powerful picture of what happens when grace meets failure. After Jesus’ resurrection, Peter and several disciples went back to fishing. For Peter, it wasn’t just a hobby—it was the life he knew before following Jesus. After denying his Lord three times, he may have thought his ministry was finished.
What the Gospel Really Means
Many people know the phrase, “Jesus saves.” It’s true, but the gospel is far more than a simple slogan. When Scripture speaks about the gospel, it presents the good news of what Jesus has done to save sinners. And when the gospel is understood in its fullness, it reshapes how life is lived.
Finding Your People: Why You Can’t Follow Jesus Alone
Most of us know what it feels like to get stuck. Maybe it’s in fitness, work, or even in our walk with Jesus. We try to make progress, but eventually we stall out. Why? More often than not, it’s because we’re trying to do it alone.
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.
A Heart Like His: What Jonah Teaches Us About Grace
Have you ever been so frustrated that you just lost it? Maybe over traffic, spilled coffee, or a toddler’s tantrum. But what about getting angry at grace? That sounds almost unthinkable. Yet that’s exactly what Jonah did.
When Grace Starts Over: The Gift of God’s Second Chances
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
Have you ever reached a point where you felt completely lost—like you’d gone too far, failed too deeply, or wandered too long to be welcomed back? If so, the story of Jonah offers a piercing truth: God’s mercy runs deeper than our darkest 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. This powerful concept is revealed in Genesis 42–45, in the story of Joseph and the long-awaited reconciliation with his brothers.
Finding Peace in a Chaotic World: A Biblical View of Global Events
In a world filled with uncertainty and breaking news, it’s easy to feel anxious, discouraged, or even afraid. Ongoing tensions—such as the rising conflict between Israel and Iran—leave many wondering what the future holds. But as followers of Jesus, we don’t just see the world through headlines; we see it through Scripture. God’s Word offers perspective, peace, and purpose in the middle of chaos.
The Power of God’s Presence: How to Navigate Success, Temptation, and Hardship

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.
