God is constantly calling us out of comfort zones and into new seasons of life on this long journey in the same direction. It is up to us to embrace the new season, remembering that although it may look and feel very different, God is still calling us to the same two...
Biblical discipleship is not a one and done kind of thing. It’s not a one-time prayer. It’s not a one- size-fits-all or a match-making program. Discipleship is not a program of volunteerism, going to church on a Sunday, or an event or a mission trip. Yes, these things...
Jesus, God in the flesh, had a mission and purpose for coming and the cross was part of God’s sacrificial work and means to free us and enable us to live in His Kingdom on mission FIRST - right here on earth, right now. Jesus is our example of how to do this – living...
Stuck, burned out and trying to be perfect are not God’s idea of Jesus-centered. Lots of Christian women are spiritually stuck. Some don’t care that they’re stuck, but others really do. They believe in Jesus, but they’re not growing in Jesus, and they don’t know what...

There are only two kingdoms. You realize that, right? There’s the Kingdom of Heaven and the kingdom of Hell on earth. That kingdom is completely divorced from God and rejects His standards, no matter what it tells itself. Because there are only two kingdoms, there are...
“Enough” of a Christian doesn’t mean “enough” with God. The self-satisfaction we can feel as Christians is killing us because we can really believe that whatever we do for God is good enough. We can feel confident that since we’re probably enough of a Christian for...
Our identity is defined by something. So, when people look at you, who do you reflect? If someone snooped on your social media, where would they say your allegiance lay? When you talk about people or causes or politics or Covid or whatever, is it Jesus in you that’s...
