The site moved to a permanent archive in October 2024 and is now officially retired. My ministry and heart remain the same: to provide encouragement, […]
Stop Presuming the Worst: Choosing Grace in Community
Grace Rewrites My First Reaction Ever walked into a new room and felt invisible? I have. I slip into church or a group, and no one greets me. It stings. Then I remember how easily I stay with friends in familiar spaces and miss the quiet newcomer two seats away. I have said no one […]
Carrying God’s Comfort To Others in Times of Grief
When Careless Comfort Hurts More Than It Helps Understanding the Weight of Careless Words A thought crossed my mind this week as I scrolled through Facebook.

You Can’t Pick and Choose the Words of Jesus
Just like you can’t be a little bit pregnant, you can’t pick and choose which of Jesus’ words you’ll follow… John 8:31 says: “To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you really are my disciples.’” Let’s put that into context.

Turn Your Waiting Room Into A Classroom
Turn your waiting room into a classroom – Jess Sowards Hey, everyone—wait for it. Wait for it. Don’t you love hearing that phrase? Someone’s telling a story, and you know a plot twist is coming. You don’t even need to know what it is—you just know it’s going to be good when they say those […]

It all began innocently enough. I’d sit down for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner with my family, and after eating, I wouldn’t feel so great. At first, I blamed the seasonal indulgence.
