I remember the first time I sat down to spend time with God with the full intention of hearing what he had to say. I had my Bible, my journal, my cup of coffee; I was ready. I was focused, eager, and slightly terrified. “What if I can’t hear anything? What if I am the […]
When I was a kid, I loved being outside and playing games with my siblings. One of our favorite activities was jumping on the trampoline behind our house. Spare moments would be quickly spent by running outside and bounding onto it. We would jump and bounce as high as we could, attempt flips and tricks, […]
The Father’s pleasure is so important: to know, to understand and to receive. Yet few of us live from it. We walk in the lie that we have to work for God to love us and enjoy us. We strive for His approval. There is something you’re missing if that’s what you think! The Bible […]
Over the past few weeks, God has been speaking to me about a vital command that I believe changes everything about our walk with Him (this is a pretty high claim, so just bear with me on this). I also believe that in our American culture, Christians have pushed this command to the side or completely ignored […]

Our hotel owner had a look about her that said something in her heart wasn’t quite right. She didn’t show much emotion, and was usually pretty cold and distant. Every morning when we would go down to the lobby to wait for the rest of the team before heading out for the day, she would […]

Purpose directs the decision making process of every person. In many senses, it is the steering wheel of our lives.
