When God's Love Interrupts our Unbelief: A Fight to Reach the Promised Land
It really all goes back to child-like faith, doesn’t it? Kids are fearless most of the time. My best friend’s son Jackson is two and he’s all boy. His favorite game when I visit is for me to hit him with a pillow and knock him back on the bed a gajillion times. “Again,” he […]

Do I Have to Confess My Sin to Another Person?: The Healing Truth Behind This Question
Someone asked me the other day, “Is it really necessary for me to confess my sins to someone else when I’ve already confessed them to God?” That’s a really great question, so I thought we could talk about it here on the blog. Let me first say this. Is confessing your sins to someone else […]

God Uses Us Despite Ourselves: Conforming to the Patterns of this World
I was so excited to take myself on a date. I’d had an incredibly full week full of training. My brain was full and my mind was ready to focus on absolutely nothing. I was reminded in my training how important self-care is, especially in my line of work. I pour into others constantly, which […]

How to Live a Life With Meaning: Why You Need A Life Plan
Most people don’t take the time to plan their lives, so it’s no surprise that so many people get to the end of their lives and experience regrets. They realize, often too late, they should have paid more attention to their goals, their dreams, taken more (smart) risks, spent more time investing in relationships and […]

How to Respond vs. React: How One Choice Changes the Trajectory of Our Lives
My boss always says she’s the reactor and I’m the responder. If she only knew how hard Jesus and I have to work to not react. Not. Even. Kidding. And I certainly don’t get it right every single time. Just ask those closest to me. My friend Marcie didn’t nickname me Moses for nothing. Lately, […]

How to Experience God Through All Five Senses: Loving God With All Our Heart
I was going through my morning devotion on the Abide app, which I absolutely love by the way, and we were covering Matthew 22:37-38. The shortened Sundi Jo version – love God with every part of you. One of the ways I hear from God most is through journaling. I ask questions. I wait for […]

Understanding the Sin of Ignorance Part Four: The People are Perishing
We live in the most fast-paced culture in history. We have everything we need and want at our fingertips and still sometimes it’s not enough. There’s a fast food restaurant I drive by a few times a week that expects their team members to get their drive-thru done in 2:30. That’s from the time the […]

Understanding the Sin of Ignorance Part Three : The Sin of Inadvertence
We can also be ignorant to sins we’ve committed because we simply didn’t know. Perhaps you’re thinking, “But everyone knows right from wrong, so how could we do something and not know it?” The answer is simple. Because we were ignorant to the knowledge. Known as one of the most influential preachers of all time, […]

Understanding the Sin of Ignorance Part Two: The Want of Knowledge
Ignorance isn’t just a lack of knowledge in understanding something. It’s more than that. Ignorance can also be defined as the want of knowledge. When I first became a Christian, I had no idea spiritual warfare existed. I knew there were “spirits” because I’d watched enough ghost stories to entertain me. I didn’t know then […]

Understanding the Sin of Ignorance Part One: The Bliss of Ignorance
Do you remember that old saying, “Ignorance is bliss?” Eighteenth-century poet, Thomas Gray wrote those words in his poem “On a Distant Prospect of Eton College,” right before he finished the last line with “’Tis folly to be wise.’” It is foolish to be wise? Really? Gray wrote the piece using first-person point of view, […]
