Childlike Eyes at Christmastime
Through a grandson’s simple “Good morning” and love for Jesus, we’re reminded that the message of Christ is both personal and communal—drawing every generation into His joy. As we share the gift of Jesus with others, our own fellowship with Him grows deeper and our joy becomes complete.
The Gift You Already Have
You are invited to remember the extraordinary gift God has already placed in your hands—a faith strengthened by His power and designed to grow through daily discipline.
Simple Obedience in a Complicated World
Instead of overthinking faith, we are invited to embody the simple, life-giving practices Jesus and Paul laid before us.
Strength for the Long Road of Faith
Hebrews 12 shows that following Jesus involves real effort, loving correction, and perseverance, but we never run alone. With a cloud of witnesses cheering us on and the Spirit guiding us, even our hardest moments become places where God shapes us and secures our hope.
You Never Know…
We may not know how long our trials will last or what the outcome will be, but Scripture assures us that God sees what we cannot and is working toward the best possible end.
The Power of Community in Loneliness
Paul’s words challenge us to stay close to Christ, close to His church, and confident that God will bring us safely into His Kingdom—where true community will never be broken again.
Identifying Stumbling Blocks
When our confidence shifts to worldly systems or voices, our faith weakens. But through repentance and renewed focus on Jesus, God restores us to wholehearted devotion and reminds us that He alone deserves first place in our hearts.
Trusting the God Who Knows More Than We Do
When we surrender our desires and wait in trust, we find peace in knowing that everything will indeed be alright because of the resurrection of Christ.
The Beauty of Being a Babbler
When I started campus ministry, I feared sounding foolish among scholars. Acts 17 reminded me that Paul was mocked too—but some believed. I’ve learned that sharing Jesus doesn’t require eloquence, just faithfulness. Even if we babble, God can use our words to change lives.
Following God When the Map Changes
Have you ever been sure you were walking in God’s will, only to hit a wall? Me too. And so were the apostles. Acts 8 shows us that even setbacks—like Stephen’s death or Saul’s persecution—can become setups for greater kingdom impact. God’s plan isn’t always predictable, but it’s always purposeful.
More Than a Sunday Seat
If your faith only shows up on Sunday, then you’re missing the adventure Jesus invites you into. The early church didn’t grow because of great coffee or catchy music—it grew because believers lived boldly between the gatherings.
Strength with Surrender
Joab reminded Israel’s army that strength is not for self-promotion but for God’s people and God’s kingdom. Real strength is found when we place our battles in the Lord’s hands and trust Him to do what is good.
Lifting Our Eyes Beyond the iPhone
Technology may be powerful and helpful, but it can also distract us from the One who is our true and constant source of help.
Never Too Hard for God
Every “too hard” moment is an opportunity to bank not on our strength, but on the unshakable promises of God.
Surrounded but Not Defeated
Like David, you may feel trapped by problems that circle you day and night, but God has not abandoned you.
Who Knows? God Does.
In hard seasons, you don’t have all the answers—but you know the One who does. Trust that He will reveal His plan in His perfect timing, for His glory and your good.
Faithfulness Comes with Fire
Like Daniel, we serve a living God whose kingdom endures forever. When the heat turns up, let’s remind one another: Our God still delivers.
Daniel: The Original Scholarship Kid
Long before FAFSA, God was placing students like Daniel into elite programs with full-ride support. But Daniel’s real education wasn’t in the classroom—it was in his convictions. God’s hand was on him from the start, just like He’s still involved in students’ lives today.
Drift Is Inevitable Without Action, So Here’s What We Can Do
In a world full of noise, we must train our ears to hear Jesus above all. Half-listening isn’t enough. True disciples slow down, tune in, and follow through with obedience.
Exercising Our Faith
Ezekiel challenged leaders who prioritized their comfort over their calling. Good shepherds—then and now—care for the vulnerable. Let’s be people who reflect God's justice, not just absorb his grace.
