Sometimes the most honest thing I can pray is, “God, this is where I’m at. Not where I planned to be, not where I hoped to be, just…here.” I sometimes catch myself trying to find “neutral ground” to meet the Lord, leaving my unsorted issues behind and climbing to the higher ground of praise, thanksgiving,… Read More »

Every day, there’s a war of whispers. Not around us, but within us. It’s a tug-of-war between deception and truth, despair and hope, shame and grace. The evil one speaks lies. He slanders the character of God, whispers that He’s distant, disappointed, disinterested. He maligns your identity, says you’re too weak, too broken, too far… Read More »

I didn’t choose to be born in America, but I believe God chose it for me. Scripture tells us He appoints our time and place so we might seek Him. For me, being American became the path through which I came to know Christ. So today, I thank God for my birthplace and for those… Read More »

There was once a lamp on my table. Perfectly intact. Bulb. Base. Cord. All there. But even when I turned the switch, it stayed in the dark. What was wrong with it? It wasn’t plugged in. That lamp was my life. I was created for more. For fullness of life. But when I tried to… Read More »

“Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations” (Psalm 90:1). Picture a well-loved home. Not grand or flashy but thoughtfully adorned with pieces that feel just right. They didn’t arrive all at once. Each was placed over time, chosen with care, woven into the story of those who live there. That’s how your… Read More »

Ring culture isn’t just a basketball problem; it’s the world’s operating system. We’ve hardwired our value systems to reward visible victory over invisible virtue. It’s about “metrics.” Followers, likes, titles,… Read More »

“Sometimes the Lord is silent.” Ever felt that way? Sometimes, it’s true. But perhaps not as often as we think. I’ve come to see that God doesn’t only speak in words, and perhaps He rarely does, apart from those we find in Scripture. More often, He moves us with His voice. Quietly. Powerfully. Without a… Read More »

A traveler once carried a lantern through a dense forest at night. The path was unclear, and the wind unpredictable. At times, the traveler wished the wind would stop so the flame could burn steady and bright. “Lord, let it be calm,” he prayed, “so my light won’t go out.” But the wind did not… Read More »

We live in a world that floods us with information, including spiritual input. Between songs, conversations, podcasts, and social media, we might encounter a hundred truths in a single day. But we can’t hold on to all of them. That kind of saturation can sometimes make it hard to recall, apply, or even truly believe… Read More »

Times have changed, but time hasn’t. Twenty-four hours still make a day. Yet, as the world has evolved, technology has introduced an ever-increasing number of options—making life both more convenient and more burdensome. The sheer effort of navigating countless decisions makes it feel like we have less time. That’s why I believe choice management is… Read More »
