Hannah has this desire on her heart to have a baby, and it is not happening. Through her story in 1 Samuel 1, we learn what to do when we feel so low, so heart broken. What does Hannah do? She prays it out and gives it to God. It is so hard, but we can do this. It takes faith and trust in God to let go of our burdens. We learn in Psalm 55:22 and in Matthew 11:28-30 to give our struggles to God. So thankful for Hannah’s story and ho...

Ruth is a beautiful book in the Bible. Naomi, her mother in law, has been through so much. So much grief, but she grieves and chooses to rise up. She rises up and chooses to live. Naomi and Ruth embark on a new life, and they have a redeemer, Boaz. Jesus is our eternal redeemer. We have so much life because we have protection, a firm foundation and a new life with Him!

What would our lives look like if we just sat there in the Lord’s presence? When we don’t do this, so many things can take over our identity. We wander and feel lost. We don’t have to feel that way. We can seek God and be rooted in Him. We can let Him take over our lives. Then we can stand firm no matter what we face.

Life can make us feel overwhelmed and weak. We can feel like it is all too much! Do we know where our strength comes from? Samson was dedicated to God, and knew his strength came from Him. This big man was weak without God. What a gift that we have the Lord as our strength. He gets us through! When we focus on Him and turn to Him we have strength. It isn’t from us, it’s from God.

We are in Judges 10, and again the Israelites are turning away from God. They are struggling, and they cry out to Him, again. In Judges 10:10-16, they have two different prayers. At first they don’t realize the power of God. Then, they do. This brings us to Jesus, and Him teaching us how to pray. His will is best! We can trust and surrender what we are going through to Him. The Israelites do this and throw away their foreign gods ...

God works through unlikely people, all through out the Bible. Gideon is one of those people. He is from the weakest tribe and is the youngest, but God chose him to lead the Israelites to defeat their oppressor. Gideon questions if God is with him and tests God. He doesn’t fully trust Him, which many of us struggle with. How things change when our trust and faith grow. Then prayer can be our first resort, and everything changes.

We start the Book of Judges today. Joshua has died, and the Israelites start living in a pattern of behavior that is hurting them. They turn away from God and worship other gods. God helps them and then they turn away again. This pattern happens over and over again. We all have our patterns and rely on other things besides God. This hurts us too. But no matter what our patterns are, God can break them. We can be rooted in Him and f...

We finish the book of Joshua today. We talk about not being conformed to the patterns of this world. Under Joshua, the Israelites loved God and were focused on Him. We can live that way too. How? By walking in His ways and loving Him. We get so much wisdom from Joshua 22,23 and 24. Such a blessing we get to go through it!

We all have been let down by people. We get hurt. But we need to know so deeply, that God is different. He does not let us down. In Joshua 21, we are told that God fulfilled all of His promises. Do we really believe that? The promise land that Joshua and the Israelites are in, is a promise fulfilled. He promised Abraham in Genesis, that his descendants would be numerous. He promised them the land the Israelites are standing in, in ...

God has blessed the Israelites with the Promise Land, yet some are avoiding taking what is in front of them. What are we avoiding? What is holding us back from following God? We can live in deep faith and trust God. Then we can take the steps He wants us to.

There is so much stress during the holiday season. We get so focused on all of the things we have to do, that we lose our focus. We lose peace. How would things look different, this holiday season and every day, if we had peace? Not just the absence of conflict, but feeling complete. This deep peace is Shalom in Hebrew. It is something we all long for, and only Jesus can provide it. We can be on this path of peace, when we take in ...

The first week of advent is about hope. The deep hope that no matter what many, many years ago God brought us Jesus. Are we living with this hope? We have control over whether we live in hope or not. The Israelites were told by Moses that they have a choice in Deuteronomy 30:15-20. Read these amazing verses! Will they chose life and love God and obey Him? Or choice death? We that choice too. Will we live with hope and light or choi...

The Bible is filled with examples of God working and blessing people, even in dark, hard times. I talk about Abraham and Sarah, Joseph and Naomi and Ruth. These people all went through hard times, but God never stops working! Through their hard times, blessings came and the story of redemption was told. All of these people had faith and hearts after God. We all can have hearts after God, even in hard times. Because He loves us and ...

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships.

Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
