Each week, I sit with the Lord and ask, “What do you want to say today?” My prayer is that each post, regardless of the date, speaks to you in due season.

As Christians, we are familiar with the symbolism of the cross. But I was recently challenged to look at it through a historical lens and I saw a beauty I had not considered before. Every historian will tell you crucifixion [...]
There is a rest in God. To rest means to cease from work— and in the Christian world, ”works” is not a word we want to get entangled with. Religion produces works. The do’s and don’ts become bondage and often [...]
I was recently listening to a podcast with Dan Mohler, who came highly recommended because of his teachings on our identity in Christ. Many of you know this is one of my favorite topics, so I was pretty excited as [...]
