Before my son left for the Army, his recruiter kept asking one question: “ARE YOU SURE?” He knew the good, the bad, and the ugly—and still chose to serve. What if we gave people that same space before asking them to follow Jesus? Drawing from my son’s enlistment and my own reluctant yes to God, I explore what it means to count the cost of discipleship, why a rushed decision deserves a second look, and how seeing Jesus as King changes the commitment we’re inviting people to ma

A soldier doesn’t wake up wondering whether he’s a soldier. He knows who he is, and moves accordingly. But what happens when we say yes to Jesus? Through the quiet confidence and humility of the soldiers in my family, I explore a question we may be overlooking: Has our identity shifted from getting saved to being a disciple of the King? This is an invitation to consider obedience, responsibility, and what it means to live each day with the King’s agenda in mind. Who are we be

Why do I feel anxious, angry, exhausted, and unable to settle, even when nothing is technically wrong?

Discover why people feel drawn to Sacred Mountain essential oil and how this conifer blend may help you feel protected, present and back inside your body.

Money itself isn't emotional—but what it represents often is. Discover how Jesus' feeding of the 5,000 reveals a different way to think about money, provision, and abundance.

You’re doing everything right. Praying. Showing up. Holding it all together. So why do you still feel… off? Not fully burned out. Not fully okay either. Just stuck somewhere in between—numb, overwhelmed, disconnected. This isn’t a mindset issue. And it’s not a lack of faith. This is what happens when your nervous system has been under pressure for too long. It’s called Functional Freeze. And once you understand it, everything starts to make sense.

Society trains children to socialize and produce, but Scripture tells a different story. When productivity replaces identity, both the Church and families suffer. Jesus placed responsibility on those with abundance—not on the struggling. As Babylonian values seep into faith, we forget God’s extravagant provision and teach our children to earn what was meant to be received. This is an invitation to rethink what we’re passing down—and why.

What if exhaustion isn’t a personal failure but a sign you’ve wandered from the ancient path? Drawing from Jeremiah 6:16 and the words of Jesus, this reflection explores the “good way”—a way marked by beauty, ease, and rest. Many believers unknowingly live in Babylon-shaped systems of pressure and performance. This piece invites you to gently ask where you’ve strayed, what true freedom looks like, and how returning to sacred rest restores the soul.

In Hebrew, repetition means pay attention. Halal—exuberant praise—carries double authority. Worship isn’t comfort; it’s alignment and power.

If you’ve hung around me for long enough at some point you have had the opportunity to hear about Big Mike. I think the last time I shared it was about 7 years ago, probably because the Lord was doing some other cool things so it didn't need to be told as a ‘memorial stone’. Apparently, the Lord wants you all to rehear this one, for some of you hear it for the first time because He means to say something about a few things happening in our world. So grab a beverage, sit back

Letting go as a mom isn’t easy. But prayer, not micromanaging, is the anchor that carries both you and your kids into the next season.

Healing is a journey that unfolds with patience, compassion, and intentional practice. Whether you’re overcoming emotional pain, physical challenges, or life’s setbacks, the path to restoration is also a path to growth. By embracing mindful practices—like meditation, movement, creativity, and supportive connections—you create space for renewal, resilience, and lasting well-being.

I used to believe that if it was meant to be, it was up to me. Like many women, I carried burdens I was never meant to hold. But God didn’t design us to hustle ourselves into exhaustion—He designed us to rest, to assign tasks, to build and to breathe. Five years ago, I began learning what it meant to live Unhurried. It’s not just a slower pace—it’s a sacred return to God’s original rhythm for His daughters.
