The ABC’s of Joy

Joy grows when we remember what’s true: God is near, even now. He’s not waiting for us to clean up or calm down. He’s already with us, ready to pour out his Spirit. So we stop spiraling, breathe deep and ask for help. Joy doesn’t depend on what’s happening around us. It depends on who’s right here.

Do You Struggle To Receive God’s Comfort?

God’s comfort isn’t scraps; it’s all comfort. As real as a mother gathering her child after a fall, as near as breath. Yet we often refuse it, waiting to feel before we believe. Faith works the other way: believe first, and comfort comes. Set your will toward trust, and let his promised comfort flood in.

All of Us Here

In a circle of strangers, I said what I had never said before: “I want to feel like I can do nothing and still be loved.” And when they wrapped their arms around me and whispered “I love you,” I felt it — not just from them, but from God. “You belong,” the Father said. And in that moment, I finally believed him.

Blow the Dam: When You’re Suffering Divine Dehydration

You were made for living water. For the presence of God rushing through your life like a river in flood season. But sin dammed it up. Left you parched. Empty.

‘What If …’ Re-Released 15 Years Later

Before “The Chosen,” there was “What If…” Now re-released 15 years later, Dallas Jenkins’ early film reminds us how far faith-based cinema has come — and how much it still gets right. With strong performances and surprisingly sharp writing, it remains one of the best examples of its genre, even as it wrestles with ideas that feel more relevant now than ever.

When Nothing Else Matters

When you glimpse the joy of Christ, everything else shifts. You stop needing to prove yourself. Stop chasing things that never satisfy. The goals, the image, the striving — it all fades.

Madeleine L’Engle: A Universe That Bends Toward Love

She didn’t separate faith from imagination. Madeleine L’Engle just lived wide open — heart and mind. Her books pulled readers through time, across galaxies, into the mystery of grace. She believed beauty told the truth. That story could carry both wonder and doubt. And that God’s love wasn’t narrow or tame, but wild enough to bend the whole universe toward redemption.

When Life Becomes Prayer

There’s a kind of prayer that doesn’t require silence or structure. It doesn’t follow a guide or wait for the right moment. It just happens — while you’re driving, making coffee, walking the dog. It’s unfiltered, constant conversation. And somehow, in the middle of the ordinary, you realize you’re not alone. Your whole life becomes prayer — unpolished, unplanned and full of God.

Healing and Reverie

Sap clings to my feet. The morning breeze brushes my face. And something in me aches to be known — by God, by others, by me. Healing isn’t tidy or quick, but it’s worth every scar it asks us to touch. When we stop running from the shadows and let love move through us, even our hidden places can become holy ground.

Joy Even in Chains

Joy isn’t the absence of pain. It’s not tied to comfort, ease or getting your way. Joy is a choice. Paul made it in chains. We can too — right in the middle of everything we don’t understand. Whether you’re staring down disappointment, rejection or just a world that feels upside down, God’s invitation stands: Rejoice. Not later. Not someday. But now. Joy isn’t just possible. It’s who you’re becoming.

One Hundred Roses

Beauty doesn’t ask to be seen. It blooms anyway — wild and unhurried, like roses in the late-May sun. It doesn’t need our applause or attention. But still, it invites. In the curve of a stem, the fall of a petal, God whispers: I am here. And when we let that beauty seep in, we remember who we are. We remember we belong.

Letting the Knowledge of God Seep Into Our Bones

Spiritual formation isn’t just about ideas — it’s about the body, the habits, the little rituals that shape us — in kitchens and walking trails, in psalms sung loud and prayers whispered low.

The Rock Star Who Refused To Hide His Faith

Bono didn’t pick up faith as a prop or marketing tool. He lived it — quietly, publicly, honestly. Long before it was trendy to name-drop Jesus, he was writing psalms into lyrics and praying through grief onstage. His faith wasn’t perfect. But it was real. And in an industry of curated personas, that kind of raw, worn-in belief still cuts through like a spotlight.

What’s ‘Good’? And How Do We Know It?

What makes something “good”? We say things like “sex is dangerous” and “marijuana is evil” — but we rarely stop to ask, What does God call good?

Optimism: A Wonderful Paradox

There’s a kind of prayer that doesn’t require silence or structure. It doesn’t follow a guide or wait for the right moment. It just happens — while you’re driving, making coffee, walking the dog.

Prayer: The Significance of Talking to God

Prayer isn’t performance. It’s not a ritual to earn blessings or a checklist to stay in God’s good graces. It’s a returning home. It’s how we live aware of God — through whispers, groans or silence. Whether we feel him or not, he listens. And when we pray, we’re changed — drawn out of self-reliance and into communion with the One who sustains us.

Prayers of Hope For Peace Over Your Thoughts

Prayer changes things — especially us. When we bring our worries, regrets and need for control to Jesus, he doesn’t just listen — he leads. His peace moves in quietly, clearing out the noise, shifting our thoughts toward truth. The world may still be spinning, but deep inside, we’re anchored. That’s the power of communion with God. Not flashy, not loud. Just steady. Just holy. Just enough.

The Cracks That Let In The Light Of God

Some weekends just catch you off guard — not with fireworks, but with God showing up in quiet, unexpected ways. A biker rally. A conversation about grace. A priest who met God on mushrooms. The Spirit moves how he wants, through whoever he wants. None of us sees the whole picture, but sometimes, through the cracks in this world, the light gets in. And that’s enough.

Service: The Order of the Towel

It wasn’t heroic. It wasn’t glorious. It was just dirty feet and a towel. But when Jesus knelt down, he showed us the full extent of his love. Not with a crown, but with service. Not from a throne, but from the floor. He met a need no one else wanted to meet. And he told us: now you go and do the same.

Adventure: The Spirit Who Says Go

Sometimes all it takes is a whisper. A quiet “Go.” That’s how Simeon found himself in the temple courts that ordinary day, holding the Messiah, wrapped in baby-soft skin and holy promise.
