[video] If Following Jesus Hasn’t Cost You Anything… 🔥 If following Jesus has not cost you comfort, you might be following a version you made up. Jesus did not call us to convenience. He called us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, follow Him. Forgive when it hurts. Love enemies.

[video] God is still God. After the diagnosis. After the disappointment. After the door closed. “I the Lord do not change.” Malachi 3:6 He does not bend with culture. He does not tremble at headlines. He does not adjust Himself to chaos. He was sovereign when you were certain. He is

[video] 🕊 When You Don’t Feel Strong Some mornings, strength doesn’t look like confidence. It looks like getting out of bed when your heart still hurts. It looks like showing up when no one sees the battle inside you. It looks like whispering “God, help me” instead of pretending you’ve

[video] ✝️THE CRUEL SUNRISE✝️ The sun came up. It shouldn’t have. The morning after my son took his life, I woke to a world that kept moving anyway. People walked the streets. Talked. Laughed. Bought bread like nothing had happened. But my world had ended. The pain was so deep I

[video] You Are Not Under Attack. You Are Being Trained. 🔥 The pressure crushing your chest right now is not God walking away. It’s God working inside you. James 1 calls it testing. Not punishment. Not abandonment. Testing. Gold purifies in fire. Muscles tear and grow under

[video] PEACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORM Mark 4:35–41 🕊 A furious squall came up. Waves broke over the boat. It was nearly swamped. Jesus slept on a cushion in the stern. The disciples were fishermen. They knew the Sea of Galilee. They knew storms like this could kill. Yet Jesus

[video] THE CRUELTY OF A CHEERFUL SONG Some truths are beautiful, but mistimed. Proverbs 25:20 says, “Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or pours vinegar on a wound, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.” The song is not wrong. The heart is just cold. Ecclesiastes

[video] 🔥 HE'S CLOSER THAN YOU THINK I woke up drowning in questions. Job. Kids. Bills. My mind screamed louder than my alarm. Then Isaiah 30:21 hit me like a hug from behind: “Your ears will hear a WORD behind you saying, ‘This is the WAY. Walk in it.’” Not a billboard. Not a

[video] You are not behind. You just thought you would be further by now. Further healed. Further over it. Further along than this. You did not expect the grief to linger. Or the questions to still surface. Or the rebuilding to take this long. But healing is not linear. And growth

[video] 🌿 IT WAS NEVER JUST ABOUT US “For God so loved the world…” We hear that and think, He loves people. Or even smaller… He loves me. And yes… He does. But the Greek word used there is kosmos. Not just humanity. Everything. The sky you barely notice. The oceans we pollute.

[video] 🔥 THE WORSHIP THAT COMES FROM WOUNDS There is worship you cannot fake. The kind that only comes from those who didn't just survive hell, they crawled through it on their belly. “I waited patiently for the Lord. He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy

[video] 🔥 IT WASN'T THE NAILS The hammer rises. The cold iron settles heavy against His wrist – right where the pulse beats strongest. Then it falls. CRACK. A sickening thud as the nail tears through flesh and drives deep into the wood. Blood surges hot over His hand. His body

[video] When a five-year-old has to give himself a pep talk before his bi-weekly blood draw, we pray. Please lift up Reece and his family today. 🙏 #RoarLikeReece #cancersucks

[image] 💧 READY OR NOT You say you believe. You say Jesus changed your life. You say He’s everything. But if someone asked you why… would you have an answer? Not a church phrase. Not something you heard someone else say. But your reason. Your story. Your hope. The woman at the well

[image] 💧WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT THE WELL Wells were never just for water. In the Old Testament they were places of covenant. Of marriage. Moses met Zipporah at a well. Jacob met Rachel at a well. Isaac’s bride was drawn from a well. Again and again, water became the place of union.
