Battlefield of the Mind
Friday Oct 27, 2023
Friday Oct 27, 2023
Hi friend!
Today I want to share with you a new book I'm reading that has taught me so much about the spiritual battle going on in our minds. God is revealing a lot to me through this book and I believe He has something here for you too. His heart is to make things clear for us, to help us win the war on our minds, and to live in the peace that He so freely gives. Let's dive in together!

Going Deeper with God
Friday Oct 20, 2023
Friday Oct 20, 2023
Today I want to share with you one of my all time favorite quotes that I actually included in my recent book, as well as some of my thoughts on what it means to go deeper with God.
I don't know about you but I am not content having a surface-level relationship with Jesus, and I am always wanting to go deeper with Him. In the last six years of my life I saw major growth in this area, and I want to share with you what I think it takes to develop intimacy with the Creator.
I haven't arrived yet, and neither have you, but the closer we grow to Jesus the easier it is to let the things of this life go and to embrace the eternal. I pray my words encourage you today to open up to God and let Him in like you never have before.

Your Battle Plan
Friday Sep 22, 2023
Friday Sep 22, 2023
This week I've been in the process of writing a new resource that helps people fight anxiety by praying the armor of God. Today I want to share some of the things I wrote in there to help you with whatever battle you face. Maybe it's not anxiety, but each of us do face our own personal battles and God has so much for us in this area. He wants us to fight this battle well, and come out even stronger on the other side!!

Don’t Look Back
Friday Sep 15, 2023
Friday Sep 15, 2023
Do you ever feel like you face the same struggles over and over again? Like you can't stop the cycle of sin or shame in your life?
I felt like that this week. But God so gently encouraged me (as He always does) to take a different approach and stop looking back.
He is doing a new thing (Isaiah 43) and it is up to us to look up and see the goodness He is working on in our lives.

Have you ever wanted to start a prayer group? God kept putting the idea of a prayer group on my heart and over the past year I’ve watched Him do powerful things in this small space where two or more are gathered.

Waiting Well
Friday Sep 01, 2023
Friday Sep 01, 2023
What I've found is that most of life is spent in the waiting. We wait on God as He does His work in our lives, and a lot of times, that looks like prayers unanswered. Moments of pouring our hearts out to Him and sitting in the silence. But how do we wait well? How do we wait with expectant hope?
Today I want to share with you one of my favorite devotions from "Quieted by His Love" called Trust in the Waiting. My prayer is that it encourages you to wait well, to wait with hope and confidence, and to wait with gratitude that this is the time where you grow even closer to your Savior.

Struggling with Self Doubt
Friday Aug 18, 2023
Friday Aug 18, 2023
Hi friend,
Have you ever struggled with self doubt? Not knowing who you really are or if you're on the right path? Sometimes, we even doubt God's love for us or if He is pleased with us.
Today I want to share with you some quotes from a book I'm reading that has helped me see with more clarity why I go through these periods of doubt and what to do about it.
Pull up a seat and join me as we talk about losing ourselves and what that looks like as we walk with Jesus.

Making Big Decisions with God
Friday Aug 04, 2023
Friday Aug 04, 2023
This week I've had some big decisions on my plate, and I'm sure you can relate to that uneasy feeling of...am I doing the right thing?!
Today I want to share with you some steps I take when facing a big decision. God wants our heart at the end of the day, and the more we invite Him in to each and every part of our decision making process, the more we will see the fruit of His will in our lives.
Be encouraged that big decisions don't have to be terrible, they can actually feel really good and fulfilling! God will lead you my friend.
