Some of us have seen churches limit women so tightly that half the body of Christ sits on the sidelines. Others have seen churches erase God-given differences between men and women altogether. In both cases, something beautiful God intended is lost.

Somewhere between “I do” and “what happened?”—many couples find themselves wondering why the dream feels so far away. But what if the problem isn’t just with us… but with the story we’ve been told?

Your spiritual life is not what it is by accident. Examine the lives of every person you know who has maintained a vibrant faith for decades. You’ll discover their secret isn’t superior willpower or fewer struggles or better circumstances. Success doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by habits.

Have you ever prayed and felt like you were met with nothing but silence? Like your words disappeared into the void, and heaven had gone quiet? It can be unsettling, even painful, to cry out to God and feel as if He isn’t answering. Silence does not mean absence, and waiting does not mean forgotten.

Big decisions affect our future, our family, our finances, our calling. Whatever your situation, you probably feel the weight of it. But here’s the good news: God is not trying to hide His will from you. He’s inviting you to walk with Him in it.

When you honor someone, you give them extra priority and attention. You give them weight in your life. The weightier they are in your estimation, the more honor you will give them.

Our plans are limited by our knowledge, foresight, and circumstances. We make the best decisions we can with the information we have, but often, things don’t go as expected. This is where the beauty of God's plans comes in.

One of the biggest reasons so many Christians don’t feel free or have hope is that they are drowning in shame. What’s ironic, and painfully sad, is that they don’t know they are experiencing shame.

As adults, we can get just as caught up in others' judgments and negative comments as our kids do. We replay harsh words in our minds, let them affect our self-worth, and sometimes even make decisions based on what others think of us.

The transformative power of a sabbatical isn’t found in simply taking a vacation or stepping away from responsibility. It’s found in creating sacred space.

Many people celebrate Easter without experiencing its transformative power. They acknowledge the empty tomb as a historical fact but miss its invitation to a completely changed life.

For many of us, admitting our doubts feels like a spiritual failure. We push these thoughts down, hoping they’ll disappear if we ignore them long enough. But what if I told you that your doubts aren’t a sign of weak faith but potentially the pathway to stronger faith?

Over the past 31 days, I’ve had a front-row seat to a miracle.

I had the privilege of sitting down with Tricia Patterson at Anthem Church to discuss my book Holy Habits and the journey of cultivating a lifelong faith.

We’re all naturally selfish, but God wants us to become supernaturally generous.

There is a race marked out for us, but what many of us miss is that it’s NOT meant to be a solo run.

If we’re going to walk with Jesus for a lifetime, we need to keep our spiritual tanks full.

The Holy Spirit desires to help us walk with Jesus for a lifetime. But he wants us to participate in the process.

I wrote Holy Habits as an urgent call for Christians to embrace a rhythm of life that will help them walk with Jesus for a lifetime.

Starting my year in prayer and fasting has profoundly impacted my life, and it can have the same impact on yours as well.
