From the beauty of gold to the smallness of twenty cubits, we trace how God fills humble places and willing hearts more powerfully than an...
What if the first step back to joy is admitting where you drifted off mission? We open 2 Samuel 11–12 and get uncomfortably honest about David’s choices, the slow slide from comfort to compromise, and why “no one will know” is the most expensive lie you can buy. This isn’t theory. We map the small steps—remaining where God didn’t call, seeing what we shouldn’t entertain, inquiring when we should flee, covering what we...

Your family is a mess. My family is a mess. We're all a mess in some way. The restaurant disaster with my kids running wild? Just the latest evidence that family life rarely goes according to plan.

Ever feel like you're caught in a never-ending cycle of making the same mistakes?
