Imagine this: joy that isn’t tied to your circumstances, love that's deep and real, peace that surpasses all understanding. If that sounds too good to be true, it’s because it is—at least on your own. But with the Holy Spirit guiding your life, true transformation becomes a reality.

Every parent knows that handing over the car keys for the first time is a significant (and nerve-wracking) milestone. Because it's true: the driver decides the destination—and the path taken to get there. So, who's in the driver’s seat of your life? Loosening your grip on the wheel can lead to more freedom than you think.

There’s a time and place to push back and fight for what you think is right. But figuring that out can be tricky. Take Jesus, for example. He leaned in and pushed back on important things because some things are worth fighting for—but not everything. So, how do you prioritize your pushback? If you push back on everything, you lessen your influence on anything.

Seeking approval from others can feel satisfying, but what if it doesn't align with your true self? Besides, whose opinion truly matters in the end—others' or God's? The real question to ponder is: Whose approval shapes the way you live your life?

Relationships can leave scars deeper than physical wounds. Betrayal, misunderstanding, or abandonment can color every interaction with doubt. But, I'm learning that healing starts with acknowledging the hurt and finding courage to rebuild trust—with the love and grace of Jesus leading the way.

Sexual sin can shatter self-worth and leave a trail of guilt and shame. It's a burden I once carried alone, believing I was unworthy of love and forgiveness. But through Jesus, I've discovered there's a path to redemption and purity where grace overcomes shame and healing begins.

Doubts can plague my every step, whispering inadequacy and unworthiness. Will I ever measure up? Insecurity grips me, leaving me feeling small and insignificant. Yet, in the uncertainty, I find acceptance and belonging in Jesus, who sees beyond my flaws, and offers unconditional love and purpose.

In the suffocating grip of depression, every day feels like an uphill battle. Darkness consumes most of my thoughts and emotions. Will this heaviness ever lift? Despite the isolation, I cling to the belief that Jesus, the light of the world, will pierce through the shadows, bringing relief and comfort.

On Easter, we celebrate that the stone has been rolled away, the tomb is empty, and Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. But the question is: Why? Why did God allow his son Jesus Christ to die a brutal death on the cross? What difference does Easter make?

Healthy people don’t visit a doctor; sick people do. That’s why waiting rooms are full of sick and messy people who need help. Jesus made it clear: He came for sick people. That’s why churches are also full of sick and messy people who need help. Let’s embrace the mess.

Ever feel stuck? Easy to get stuck in the same habits, relationships, or even the past. Jesus often sought out people who seemed stuck, and then offered them a way forward. What if God wants you to watch for opportunities to reach people who need to be unstuck?

Every store has an “as-is” section. Items with a flaw, so you buy them “as-is.” People seem to carry an “as-is” label as well – a defect, weakness, or shortcoming. But what if you didn’t have to accept your fate? What if Jesus could help? Maybe a better question: What if God wants you to remove obstacles to get yourself or those you love to Jesus?

Ken: the dreamboat—fun, sporty, handsome. Barbie: perfection—smart, smiley, beautiful. So…are Ken and Barbie the ideal man and woman, the image we should all be pursuing? Um…let's hope not. Look to the Bible for something better.

The pursuit of beauty is a multi-billion-dollar industry. Makeup, diets, workouts, fashion, skincare—you get the picture. And no matter how hard we try (or how much we spend), that kind of beauty is only skin-deep…and inevitably fades. So, what is true beauty, and how should we pursue it?
-
Maybe you think you've done too much, that there's no turning back from the path and people you've chosen to follow. But not only are you NOT too far gone for God—God is actively pursuing you. He knows your name, and he is ready to breathe new life into your story.

You've been given one life. And you're wired to want to make a difference with it. But with all of the issues in our world—homelessness, food insecurity, mental health, wars, relief efforts, addiction, and more—it can feel easiest to opt out of making an impact. Don't lose hope. As long as you’ve got breath in your lungs, you can make a difference.
