He Loved First
Watching the sun come up, I can't help but marvel at what God has made. Loving Someone you can't see takes faith. But faith and action don't earn His love, He loved us first.

Paid in Full
A Cody Johnson lyric stopped me cold: Jesus has already paid every debt I owe. Most of us walk around with a tally sheet. But the books were balanced two thousand years ago. Tetelestai. Paid in full.
loveMay 20, 2026
Love Made Visible
Every relationship needs two things, love and action. Real love always shows up in what we do. Touching the lives around us is a surefire way to touch God's heart.

Where Balance Comes From
You have any balance in your life? Would you even know what it was if you had it? Balance shows up in an unexpected place, when we stop staring at our own problems and start serving someone else.

Pride Goes Before the Fall
Pride doesn't always look like arrogance, sometimes it's just quietly believing we got this. The world says believe in yourself. There's a difference between stewardship and making yourself your own god.

The Dude in the Left Lane
The Golden Rule is easy in theory, hard in traffic. Loving the people we don't like takes seeing them differently. Even the dude in the left lane is made in God's image.

God With Us
Why did God send Jesus? He could have chosen any way to save us, but He came close. Immanuel means God with us, close enough to touch. So let's live that way too.

Drop the Stone, Pick Up the Towel
In a world that goes from zero to 100 in a hot second, Jesus calls us to drop the stones and pick up the towel. Stand up for the overlooked. Then serve.
hypocrisyMay 12, 2026
Doers, Not Just Hearers
Many people walk away from church because they think Christians are hypocrites. Hypocritical moments happen, but a hypocritical lifestyle is a problem. Let's be doers, not just hearers.

He Never Leaves
When we sin, it can feel like God has left us. But His presence doesn't disappear with our failures. Recognizing He's still there is the doorway to His grace.

Let Go of the Wheel
When your plans don't go the way you planned, that frustration is evidence faith is weak. Like throwing a curveball, you have to let go of the wheel and trust Him.

Bloom Where You Are Planted
God didn't put you where you are by mistake. Bloom where you are planted, pray for the place and the people, and stand still while He fights the battle for you.
peaceMay 6, 2026
The Peace That Only God Can Give
In the middle of hard times, what we really need isn't for the trouble to disappear, it's the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. With His peace, we can face anything.
