For the last 6 months, I’ve been unemployed from full-time work. Losing my job was an emotional rollercoaster, to say the least. There are stages of grief, emptiness, confusion, anger, and fear. My faith was tested. My identity needed to be reframed. As I prayed for my circumstances to change, God undeniably used this uncomfortable …
Over the past few months, I’ve been privileged to learn more about God– the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. As I’ve learned more about Him and His mighty power, I developed a curiosity to dive even deeper into His powerful Word. One question I’ve always wondered is, “Where did Satan come from?” If …
I’ve been praying to God for something that hasn’t been answered yet. I know that God doesn’t always answer prayers right when we pray. Sometimes he answers them in unforeseen ways. Sometimes he answers them in an entirely different season. And sometimes he doesn’t answer them at all. We have to be okay with all …

The last few weeks have been hard for me. I’ve been praying for a way out of this valley and that God would deliver me on the other side. I found myself trying to satisfy my timing rather than waiting on God’s. Maybe if I work hard enough, I’ll get to where I desire to …
We abide in a world that serves itself above God and wants personal satisfaction within worship instead of using worship as a time to glorify God. Personal preferences have caused deviation from God’s truth. Instead of holding firm to the foundation of God’s Word, churches have begun to accommodate and adapt to a changing world. …

God only misses the mark when we define the mark for him. We can’t put God in a box. When our expectations aren’t met, it isn’t because God couldn’t meet them. It’s because we shouldn’t be making them in the first place. I used to think that my proposal for life was better. …
