Hey, y’all!

Let’s be real—there are times when loving others feels like more than we can handle. Whether it’s the demands of caregiving, navigating strained relationships, or simply feeling emotionally drained, the call to love can sometimes feel overwhelming. But Jesus offers us an invitation of r...

Love is one of the most profound gifts from God, but in today’s world, it’s easy to confuse true love with its counterfeits. Society often offers distorted versions of love—selfishness, lust, and superficial affection—that fall far short of the genuine, Christlike love God calls us to e...

Loving others is easy when life is smooth, and everyone’s getting along. But what about when it’s hard? Loving during tough times—when someone has hurt us, when relationships are strained, or when life is overwhelming—requires a strength far beyond our own. Thankfully, God provides that...

Fear can be a powerful force in our lives, holding us back from experiencing joy, peace, and freedom. But God doesn’t want us to live in fear—He wants us to live in His love, which is greater than anything that scares us. 1 John 4:18 reminds us:

“There is no fear in love, but perfect l...

Hey, y’all!

One of the greatest challenges in relationships and faith is finding the balance between love and truth. If we focus too much on love, we might avoid difficult conversations that need to happen. If we focus too much on truth, we risk coming across as harsh or unkind. But God calls us to...

Conflict is an inevitable part of life, but how we handle it as Christians sets us apart. Disagreements can strain relationships, but they also provide an opportunity to reflect God’s love and grace. Jesus gives us a clear and loving approach to conflict resolution in Matthew 18:15:

Hey, y’all!

One of the most beautiful expressions of love is showing kindness to people we don’t know. It’s easy to focus on loving our friends and family, but the Bible encourages us to extend that love to strangers as well. Hebrews 13:2 offers this profound reminder:

Hey, y’all!

The church isn’t just a building—it’s the body of Christ, a community of believers united in faith. But let’s be honest: loving the church isn’t always easy. We’re all imperfect people, and sometimes those imperfections can lead to misunderstandings and divisions. That’s why Jesus’ comm...

Hey, y’all!

Friendship is one of the greatest gifts God has given us. True friends stand by us in the good times and the hard times, reflecting God’s love and faithfulness in a tangible way. But what does it mean to be a true friend through Christ? Let’s reflect on Proverbs 17:17, which paints a be...

Hey, y’all!

Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging roles God calls us to. Each child is unique, with their own personality, gifts, and struggles. It’s not always easy to know how to guide them, but the Bible gives us a timeless principle in Proverbs 22:6:

Hey, y’all!

Marriage is one of God’s most beautiful gifts, designed to reflect His love and commitment to us. But let’s be real—marriage isn’t always easy. It takes work, sacrifice, and a whole lot of grace to build a relationship that honors God and thrives over the long haul. Thankfully, God has ...
