Oftentimes, we push ourselves at breakneck speed—racing to check boxes, chasing the next big win, believing that if we just move faster, work harder, and try more, success will finally land in our lap. But as John De Paola said, "Slow down, and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you." In a world obsessed with hustle, this is not a call for complacency. It's an invitation to step off the rele...

Every New Year, millions write down the same resolution: lose weight, get healthy, finally take control of their lives. Yet, by spring, those goals often wilt like forgotten gym memberships. Why? Because too often, we're winning the wrong race.

Bad habits are the easy path. They require no thought, no discomfort, no extra effort.

Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded wom...

Life doesn't hand out guarantees. No matter how much you want a smooth ride or a sure win, it simply doesn't work that way. Success, growth, and reaching your goals come from one thing above all else—intention. How you think, decide, and act every single day shapes whether you make it across the finish line. So quit waiting for a guarantee.

Grief isn't just about losing a loved one. It's a full-body, mind-consuming response to any meaningful loss: a job, a home, a relationship, a dream gone sideways. If you don't understand how grief rewires your mindset, it can trap you in a mental box where all you see is what's broken—and how far you are from climbing out of that dark hole. When you understand how grief affects your mindset, you get why you're...

Walking in step with God is never a passive journey, especially when the world around you seems determined to pull you off course. Jealousy, deceit, and manipulation are real weapons some wield to fracture your spirit and cloud your vision. When hearts turn bitter and minds play cruel games, it's easy to get trapped inside a warped reality that feels impossible to escape. So how do you hold your ground in thes...

The new year brings that electric buzz of new beginnings and fresh possibilities. When you're married to your person—the one you dream about and build life with—it only makes sense to dream bigger together.

Every new year brings a fresh chance to hit the reset button — including how you show up as a parent. But let's be real: parenting is hard, exhausting, and often thankless. If you coast through it, thinking your kids will "figure it out," you're setting everyone up for frustration and chaos. Kids need more than just food and shelter; they need consistent guidance, love, and boundaries; it's intentional parenti...

The first day of a new year holds something rare—a stillness amid the noise, a quiet space where hope and possibility stretch out like an open road. It's a day wrapped in excitement but tinged with uncertainty. The unknowns can flip the script, spin your stomach, and test your courage. But here's the beautiful, unshakable truth: The best is yet to come.

Every New Year arrives heavy with promises! However, let's be honest, you've gotta fair share of frustration, too. For millions, those well-meaning resolutions quickly unravel, leaving behind guilt and the familiar cycle of "I failed again." But the harsh truth is that pushing yourself to "fix" every flaw with iron willpower only sets up a battle you can't win long-term. So what if forward progress requires fo...

You're probably all too familiar with the grinding season—the one where your to-do list feels like Mount Everest, your energy dips, and then the holidays roll in like a relentless tide. It's the time when surviving feels like a win. But what if you didn't just survive? What if you conquered this season with your heart still beating loud and your goals clearly in view? Get back up!

Every December, most of us find ourselves trapped in the chaos—exhausted, overwhelmed, and haunted by a list of unfinished goals. This is the time for closing the chapter: how to honor your past and prepare for the present.

As the final Sunday of the year fades into twilight, it carries with it a weight that feels heavy for many—a mix of reflection, regret, relief, and even anticipation. Life never promised a smooth journey. Each year comes with its own share of battles, setbacks, and moments when the road feels unbearably steep. But struggles don't have the final say on your joy or hope. Anchor your joy in what lasts.

The end of the year is more than just a calendar checkpoint. It's an invitation for you to pause and take stock of your journey together; how to reflect, reconnect, and reignite your marriage.

Christmas has come and gone. The lights are turned off, the wrapping paper has been tossed, and the house finally breathes again. Christmas is over—now what? 

Every so often, a story comes along that changes everything—then turns right around and changes your life. The birth of Jesus is one of those stories. But far from being a quaint holiday tradition or a distant fairy tale, this is the moment God interrupted history to say, "I'm with you." For centuries, prophets declared this truth. Now, it's no longer about pages of ancient text—it's about the real, raw presen...

Christmas Eve. For many, it's the crescendo of the holiday whirlwind—the last-minute preparations, wrapping, cooking, and hosting. But it doesn't have to be that way, not when you have a sacred stillness.

Christmas Eve is nearly here, and for many of us, the holiday season carries a mixed bag of emotions. The bright lights and festive songs promise joy, but behind the scenes, life might feel messy, exhausting, and overwhelming. When weariness weighs down your mind, body, and spirit, it's natural to default to the easiest option—often kind of numb survival that distances you from what really matters. Yet, you ca...

The holiday season should bring joy and meaning. Yet, all too often, it feels like the world is spinning faster than ever. Sometimes it's hard knowing how to see straight when the world is spinning.
