  • The Beauty of Surrender

    The Beauty of Surrender

    “We have to surrender our free-will and submit to God’s will.” That sentence has been living rent-free in my mind ever since I heard it this week. It’s one of those truths that sounds simple, but the more I think about it, the more it sinks in and challenges me. God gave us free-will. The… Read more

  • When Heaven Meets the Heart

    When Heaven Meets the Heart

    This week has been one of those weeks where heaven feels near, and yet, the battle feels fierce.

They’ve been the kind of burdens that sit with you when you through the night and follow you into the day, making it… Read more

  • Peace in the Middle of Confusion

    Peace in the Middle of Confusion

    Life doesn’t always make sense. Sometimes doors we thought would open remain shut. Plans change. Circumstances feel overwhelming, and the path forward seems unclear. It can be easy to let confusion grow into fear or worry. But Jesus offers us something greater. His peace. In John 14:27, He says, “Peace I leave with you; my… Read more
