As Father’s Day approached this year, I found myself reflecting on two fathers—my earthly father and my Heavenly Father. The memories stirred emotions I hadn’t expected, reminding me how deeply our earthly experiences can shape the way we view love, belonging, and even God Himself. Growing up without my father was one of the quiet…

A few months ago, I had the incredible privilege of collaborating with nine other authors to write a book centered on one of the fruits of the Spirit: kindness. Even now, as I hold the finished book in my hands, I’m reminded that God often does His greatest work through the smallest beginnings. When I…

Four days ago, I said goodbye to my best friend, Tink. Even writing those words feels surreal. For thirteen and a half years, this faithful German Shepherd was woven into the fabric of my everyday life. He wasn’t just a pet; he was a loyal companion, a source of comfort, and a constant presence through…

This past weekend, our home was filled with something that is difficult to describe, yet impossible to miss. It wasn’t simply the laughter echoing across the yard, the smell of food on the grill, or even the peaceful sounds of the lake beyond the fence. It was the quiet evidence of God’s goodness displayed through…

As her birthday approached, I found myself thinking about all the wonderful…

As I reflect on my journey with Him, I can see countless examples of His goodness. There have been seasons when God gently shined His light into areas of my heart that I would have never noticed on my own. Sometimes it was obvious things like fear, worry, or self-reliance. Other times it was much…

It is often much easier to see what is wrong in someone else than it is to recognize what is unfinished, unhealthy, or unsubmitted in ourselves. We can notice another person’s tone, attitude, choices, weaknesses, or spiritual immaturity almost instantly. Yet somehow similar flaws in our lives can remain hidden from us today. Jesus spoke…

There is something deeply meaningful about watching the next generation rise up with a heart for the Lord. It is one thing to pray that young people will love Jesus, serve others, and carry the gospel into the world. It is another thing entirely to see that desire begin to take shape right in front…

Lately, I’ve been sitting with something I never expected to carry for so long – the quiet, lingering ache of distance between my daughter and me. When it first began, I told myself it would pass quickly. Just a misunderstanding, a brief season, a stretch of silence that would eventually soften into healing. But now,…
