Why are you clinging to spiritual rags when you don’t have to?
The First and Second Round Draft Invitees Matthew 22:11-12 says, “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw a man there who had no wedding garment. He said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And the man was speechless.”...
Mean people are exhausting and how to not become one of them.
Mean is just mean. “MEAN people exhaust me.” You can fill in the specifics: My mother exhausts me. My child exhausts me. Politicians exhausts me. My boss exhausts me. You get the picture. For me personally, I was super exhausted all of 2022. And earlier this week, I...
Jesus Will Identify the Weeds in Our Lives Because He is faithful.

Greatness Comes through Surrender
“God doesn’t do great things through great people; He does great things through surrendered people.” That mic-drop statement was said by Susanna Kozlow at a Well Pop Up. Wow! What a paradigm shift! So, our abilities, talents, resources, and status don’t make us great. Those are only transactional and temporal.
