The Key to Living a Jesus-Centered Life is Actually JESUS
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...
Spiritual Sterility and Boredom Are Not Gifts of the Spirit
Bored? Fruitless? Jesus? Really? If you’re BORED with your Christian life, then I can promise you – you aren’t living the version of Christianity found on the pages of the Bible. If you’re FRUITLESS in your Christian walk, then I can promise you – you aren’t following...
The “We” Part of “Well” Really Does Matter
Any group or church can call itself Christian. That doesn’t mean anything. It can be all talk, womp-womp-womp, with no real evidence of Jesus or the cultural values of Heaven operating in and through them. But there’s also no truly Christian group or church that’s...
The In Between
We all know the story We know the story of the birth of Jesus and we know the story of the Resurrection. In the days before Covid, we would have Christmas Eve services and Easter morning services. Our churches were so packed that some were running six services and we...

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...
The Ugly Truth About Division and the Church
Is anyone else struggling with the intense disagreements and division all around us? It’s on the news, on social media, in public square, our schools and even in our churches. It seems non-stop, in-your-face, relentless. It’s every-where-you-turn! Ironically though,...
The One Thing You Can Never Leave
It’s a tough time to do ministry. I’m not whining about it. It just is what it is. For a long time, the uphill battle was trying to convince the “decided to be disciples.” If you encouraged women to read their Bibles, they left the group. If you asked women to pray...
Giving Way to Unbelief
The Bible teaches us that it is impossible to please God without faith. On the surface this sounds pretty straight forward, until we need to make a decision which tests our faith.
