Our Deep Desire to Belong…
How badly do we want to belong? I believe we come hardwired with a desire to belong. To feel connected. Some of us crave it more than others—–which is probably based on how secure we felt growing up and how deeply connected we are to others right now in our lives. For those of us… Read more »
How Do We Get Free From Condemnation?
How often do we crawl back into the prison of condemnation? Why can we not believe that Jesus has truly freed us from it? When we hear of abuse done to the innocent, it moves us to righteous anger. We want the perpetrators punished for the injustice. But how would we feel if rescuers were… Read more »
What Is It Like To Truly Experience God’s Love?
Have you truly experienced God’s love? I mean, have you felt His pleasure in you? Just for being you? Not because you purchased someone’s groceries, or gave up your seat on the bus, or let an injustice slide past without picking up an offense. Has your heart experienced the pleasure of Him smiling over you?… Read more »
How Do People Experience Us?
How do people experience us? Honestly, I’m not sure I’d like to know how some people experience me.

What is Our Greatest Assignment As Believers?
What is our assignment as believers? Most of us would quote Matthew 28:16-20, the passage where Jesus told his disciples to go into all the world preaching the gospel and making disciples of men.

What Does it Mean to be a Christian and Have an Orphan Spirit?
Do we live as orphans or as God’s children? God’s been shining light on an area I thought I had more freedom in. He exposed a giant crack all the way across my heart. I know what an orphan is in the body of Christ. They work really hard for love and acceptance. And they carry a… Read more »
How Should We Pray When Difficulty Arises?
The other day I found myself praying like a beggar instead of a daughter. “Please be with them. Please help them.” It was a default prayer. I had a concern and pushed the play button on my auto-recorded prayers. The ones from yesteryear when I didn’t believe God would really listen unless I tugged on… Read more »
What Would Happen If We Monitored Our Thoughts?
How do we battle the enemy? And who is the true enemy? When I was growing up, hearing anything related to satan and his demons scared the bejeebers out of me. I didn’t want to think about him, let alone say his name out loud for fear of attracting a hellacious attack. After college, I… Read more »
