Who Have You Run To Today?
One of the most moving stories in the New Testament is not about a crowd. It is about one man. One wounded man. One searching man. One man sitting in a chariot on a dusty desert road. And one obedient believer willing to run. The Ethiopian eunuch of Acts 8 was not simply a government…

Sons of Promise Don’t Live Like Slaves
As I was reading Galatians 4 and 5 this week, something struck me. Paul paints a picture of two sons. Ishmael and Isaac. One came through human effort. Human planning. Human intervention. Abraham and Sarah saw God’s promise, grew tired of waiting, and tried to make it happen themselves. The other came through faith. Through…

Crash Landing
Surrender has never been gentle for me… I envy people who seem to softly lay things down before God. People who appear to transition peacefully from striving into trust. My surrender feels more like a crashing plane. A massive aircraft not built to come down easily. Everything in it wants to remain in the air.…

Tired
The story of Elijah has always fascinated me. A man who called fire down from heaven. A man who witnessed miracles with his own eyes. A man who stood boldly in faith before kings and false prophets. And then… he crashed. Completely. Right after one of the greatest victories of his life, Elijah ran into…

He Knows
Five years ago, I answered a call I did not fully understand. It was not clarity that moved me. It was obedience. With one-year-old twins, a full business to run, and a life deeply rooted in ministry alongside Matt, I enrolled for a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology. I knew, somewhere deep inside, that God was…

War stories
I have this theory. It started somewhere between war movies and those intense American military films where everything is precision, discipline, and repetition. Platoons do not just show up ready. Navy SEALs do not become the best overnight. They train again and again until instinct takes over. And then in the middle of chaos, when…

Who am I
“What is man that You are mindful of him, the son of man that You care for him?” Heb 2:6 It is not the question of someone who feels worthless.It is the question of someone who suddenly realizes how deeply they are seen. What is man… that God would be mindful? Not aware from a…

The Oil That Follows Obedience
“You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy above your companions.” Heb 1:9 We read it quickly. We underline “joy.” We move on. But this is not light joy.This is not the kind that visits when life behaves. This is oil. And oil, in…

Free Will… or Surrendered Will?
I’ve been sitting with a thought that feels both confronting and strangely freeing at the same time: “You don’t have a free will… you have the responsibility to do God’s will.” Now I know… that sounds intense. Almost offensive to our modern thinking. Because everything around us says, “Choose your truth. Follow your heart. Live…

We Are a Body… Not a Battlefield
I read something the other day by Ray Stedman that honestly made me pause mid-sip of my coffee. He said we forget that the church is a body. Not an institution. Not a corporation. Not a well-run business with policies and procedures and boardroom meetings. A body. And suddenly… it hit me. Because if we…
