I just wrapped up two months of federal jury duty, and it was one of the most intense experiences of my life. It sure wasn’t like county jury service! I was part of a federal case that had everything: murder-for-hire plots, drug deals that seemed straight out of a movie, double crosses,...
I recently attended my 50th high school reunion. As anyone who’s reached that milestone can tell you, it’s a bittersweet occasion. Of the 109 graduates in our class, 67 made it back to reunite and reminisce, but 17 of our classmates had already passed away. In a poignant turn of...
Have you ever thought about how some events in history just completely change the game? Like, they split everything in two—before it happened and after it happened. It might sound dramatic, but that’s exactly what the birth of Jesus did. Imagine the brightest lightning bolt cutting...
Hey, y’all!
You ever notice how easy it is to hold onto hurt? We carry it around like some sort of security blanket, thinking it’ll protect us from getting hurt again. But in reality, it's more like a chain that keeps us bound, weighed down by the past. I’ve been thinking a lot...
Hey, y'all!
Imagine this: You're in the middle of a storm. The wind is howling, rain is pounding against the windows, and the sky is dark and furious. Inside your home, however, you find a sense of calm. There's a fire crackling in the fireplace, you're wrapped in a warm blanket, and you...

There’s a verse in the Bible that’s been on my heart lately, one that I’m sure you’ve heard before: “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13, ESV). It’s a powerful statement, one that conjures images...
Ever seen an antelope beating itself up for losing its temper? How about a lion calling itself a failure because it messed up on a relationship?
I’m going to go ahead and guess no.
But how many times have you talked to yourself that way?
Unfortunately, humans do this to themselves all the...
Hey folks,
Today, let's dive into a topic that’s increasingly relevant in our digital age: discernment. With the rise of social media, it’s easier than ever to share information with just a click. But as Christians, we have a responsibility to exercise wisdom and discernment,...
Ever felt like you’re stuck in a never-ending loop, facing the same problem repeatedly? It’s like a recurring scene in a movie, playing over and over until you finally grasp its meaning. That’s no coincidence. There’s a divine purpose behind it. God, in His infinite...
Have you ever felt like your past is holding you back? Maybe you had a tough time growing up – whether it was being left out, bullied, or struggling with family dynamics. For some, the childhood scars are deeper, involving significant trauma that casts a long shadow over their lives. But...
We’re all thinking about the upcoming election, right? It’s plastered everywhere—news channels, billboards, social media. It’s the hot topic that’s impossible to escape.
As the election approaches, there’s this sense of heaviness. Our nation and our...
