“Where ya joy at?”
I kept trying to rename this post. But I can’t get past these words. My heart is so burdened for us as the church this morning. Where. Is. Our. Joy?? When the world looks at us, do they see anything that makes them want what we have? Heck, do we look like we want what we…

Fighting With Faith
You think it could never happen to you. Until you find a lump. And then everything changes. This is my friend, Sarah. Her and her husband have a beautiful little girl and two foster children. They also pastor a growing church in Braydenton, FL. She’s young. A healthy eater. And cancer doesn’t…

Step Into the Light
Light and darkness cannot coexist. Either there is total darkness without the presence of light, or there is light overtaking the darkness. Think about it. Your bedroom is pitch black because all lights are off. When you turn on a lamp or flip a light switch – instant light! The darkness can no longer remain…

Walk YOUR walk.
Can I be real with you? You will never write like her. You will never sing like him. Your house will never be spotless like theirs. The quicker you accept this reality, the quicker you can release that deep breath you’ve been holding in for so long. God isn’t asking for perfection, babe, He’s asking…
