Did you know that it's okay to enjoy a simple life? I know it sounds so contrary to this rush, work, hustle culture that we are immersed in, but does any of this resonate with you? I know in my experience, even as a former pastor's wife and church being a huge part of our [...]

Was it Really “Church Hurt”?
The term "church hurt" is all too common today to describe how people have been wronged. ***Disclaimer- if you were abused by people who were an authority you were once submitted to, I do not discredit your pain one bit. People in authority in ANY organization must be held accountable for their actions. And sadly, [...]
Sunday’s Coming!
I don't know what you're dealing with today, but I know God is working behind the scenes. It's always the darkest right before the dawn! God is rarely early, never late, and always on time! He is not a man who could lie. His Word is His will, and it WILL COME TO PASS! Get [...]
Jesus Had Come to Defeat an Enemy, Just Not the One They Had in Mind
Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy, and showing His agreement to Kingship. The crowds shouted "Hosanna!" in response, which is translated to mean "Praise God!" "Save us!" or "Deliver us!" While the Israelites assumed Jesus would be an insurrectionist who would overthrow the power of Roman rule, they did not understand the [...]
Are You Praying for Your Church?
I have bowls of what I like to refer to as "nature treasures" around our home. Little things we have picked up when on vacation or just on a walk as a family and I like to date them so we have memories of our many adventures. This sweet little acorn we received at a [...]
Jesus Felt BIG EMOTIONS and Why We Should, Too
Jesus Felt BIG EMOTIONS and Why We Should, Too! If you grew up in a home where BIG EMOTIONS were not tolerated, were belittled, punished, or squelched, you may have trouble FEELING YOUR FEELINGS as an adult. You may have been taught to not be so emotional. Or you may have been taught by the [...]
The Glorification of Busyness
Many of us have fallen into the trap of the glorification of busyness. We have mentally and emotionally made it mean something validating about ourselves if we can accomplish a huge list of things. But then we must quickly activate a way to cope with the stress of being over-scheduled and overwhelmed with seasons of [...]
Should You Tithe From Your Business, Ministry, or Church?
My question would be...WHY NOT? 🙂 When we tithe personally, we are aligning ourselves with God's best for us and showing Him that we honor and understand that HE is our Provider. As an entrepreneur or the head of a church or organization, you probably receive a salary from that entity and can and should [...]
Do You Want to See an Awakening?
If we desire a great awakening for our world, for our nation, for our church, then WE must become awakened OURSELVES and AWAKENING begins with an ENCOUNTER! "Blessed are those who HUNGER and THIRST after righteousness: for they SHALL BE FILLED!" Matt. 5:6 So, this verse is teaching us that the FILLING is reserved for [...]
Want to Grow Your Church, Ministry, or Business, but Feeling STUCK?
As ministers, we can so easily shift into frustration and despair when church attendance is not growing, we’ve made a mistake in implementing a “program," lost a valuable staff member or volunteer family, or shame ourselves for our human failures. The pain comes because we are not ALLOWING and PROCESSING THROUGH all the EMOTIONS that [...]
